Tobe-yaki specialty store's sun-patterned "garaire" (a type of serving bowl) with a rounded rim. When I first saw it, I naturally thought, "How cute..." It's a vessel that evokes that feeling. It has a plump, rounded shape, like a small jar. But upon closer inspection, it's made with a slight slant, a shape that also considers "ease of use." The round rim feels strangely warm in your hand. The smooth, white porcelain features a gentle sun pattern. The wide mouth and generous capacity make it perfect as a "garaire," but I also thought it would be lovely for ice buckets or for use during hot pot meals. Even though it's not the main dish, its presence alone in the cupboard makes a statement. When you focus on these "supporting role" vessels, the atmosphere of the dining table really changes. The gentle expression unique to hand-painted designs, brushstroke by brushstroke, and the plumpness of the rounded rim. I think this is a piece that those who love tableware will surely appreciate. It's also recommended for pets. The slightly slanted shape of the mouth makes it easy to drink from the lower side, and it can be used as a water bowl or food bowl for cats and small dogs. It's made of stable ceramic, making it difficult to tip over and easy to clean. *Although it is originally intended for use as a vessel, some people use it for pets. 【Size】 Maximum width: Approximately 14cm Height: Approximately 13cm (mouth diameter approximately 14cm) 【Weight】 Approximately 700g 【Color/Features】 Smooth white porcelain Indigo blue sometsuke (underglaze painting) There are no noticeable chips or cracks.
