Aizu Lacquerware - Lidded Soup Bowls - Set of 5 * Natural Wood * Lacquer Finish Although they appear black in the photos, they are a dark, burnt umber color. These bowls are adorned with gold rims and a rich, dark umber lacquer, giving them a華やかな (gorgeous/splendid) appearance. The texture is somewhere between glossy and matte. The color and texture give these bowls a very luxurious feel. The outer box lid is missing. I am offering these at a bargain price, so please consider this price. Thank you.
