Thank you for viewing! m(_ _)m This is a set of four large vermilion lacquerware bowls made by Senro Sato. Size: Diameter 14.5 cm (outer rim) Height 10 cm They are considerably larger than ordinary soup bowls. Color: Vermilion, black lacquer on the underside of the foot + stamp For customers who want to own genuine lacquerware. Made from domestic keyaki (Japanese zelkova) wood, turned on a potter's wheel and finished with linen cloth. It uses an abundance of domestic lacquer, the production of which is said to be only a few percent (or less). When you hold it, you'll be amazed, wondering if linen cloth is really applied. About Senro Sato: Please research his career and works. These are works that my father, who was in the wholesale and retail of tableware, mainly lacquerware, purchased directly from Senro Sato. They are very valuable items. The paper outer box is yellowed, but the bowls themselves are wrapped in turmeric cloth and thin paper and are in very good condition. How about adding color to your dining table with these large vermilion bowls, for rice dishes, noodles, donburi, soups with lots of ingredients, simmered dishes, and even fruits? The more you use them, the more lustrous they become, and you can pass them down through generations by repainting them. My father hesitated to part with them, remembering the explanation of the bowls as truly amazing items and his connection with Senro Sato. But he entrusted them to me, hoping that someone would use them. Not microwave, dishwasher, or sponge compatible. Please wash gently by hand. Modern dish soap has strong ingredients, so I recommend using it diluted >.<. The reason why good lacquerware doesn't suit modern civilization is here. Lacquer is safe and secure, a natural adhesive and paint. Thank you very much (^^).
