This is a lacquer bowl made of resin and wood flour. It's sold individually, so the quantity may be odd, but it's a practical dish for everyday use. It can be cared for just like any other dish. This is an item being sold to make room for new products. It's a display item and has never been used, but there may be minor scratches or scuffs. I've checked it over and didn't find anything of concern. Please understand that this is a display item before purchasing.
