A very warm, hand-painted ceramic stew and soup bowl!! The bowl is a bit thick, so if you like your food hot, warming the bowl before serving will help keep it warm longer. Because it's hand-painted, the patterns are slightly different. Also, there are some black dots, which were present from the time of purchase. Please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned about these. Height is approximately 5.5cm. The delicious season for stews and pot-au-feu is coming up, so how about it? (^_^)/
