This is a set of two Imari-yaki lidded bowls made from the end of the Edo period to the Meiji era. They are painted with red overglaze and feature a vegetable design, possibly turnips. The good points of lidded bowls are their ability to keep food warm or cold, and the excitement of opening the lid. They are great for simmered dishes, and also fun for desserts. #kotosya Recommended Imari ◆Size Lid: ∅10.0cm x Height 2.5cm Bowl: ∅11.0cm x Height 6.2cm Height when lidded: 7.5cm *There may be size variations for each piece. ◆Scratches and Condition One bowl has "amade" (cracks from firing).
