These dishes are new and unused, as purchased. I opened the wrapping to take photos. The design has a wavy upper edge, giving it a luxurious and charming feel, typical of Arita-yaki. I think the larger bowls would be perfect for simmered dishes, and the smaller ones for pickles, etc. - Product Name: Set of 5 Parent and Child Bowls - Size: Large: 12cm diameter, 4.5cm height; Small: 6cm diameter, 3cm height Thank you for looking.
