Yachimun [Togei Tamaki] *'s Flower Connection Pattern Square Small Bowls, Set of 2 ◆Size◆ Approx. 7.5cm (length) x 9.5cm (width) x 2.5cm (height) The inner rim is carved with a flower connection pattern, and colored with two glazes, brown and indigo, from above. The popular flower connection pattern is, I think, a lovely, simple, and unique vessel. ◉Note◉ * There were scratches on the back and rim, and minute kiln marks (images 8 and 9) from the time of purchase. Please check the images. For those who understand these kiln marks, thank you. ↓ Because each piece is handmade, the colors and shapes are not uniform. Due to the nature of the ceramic stone and glaze, there may be black spots, unevenness, cloudiness, cracks, and crazing. Also, those fired with firewood may have soil and ash attached, or swelling may occur. Please enjoy the unique taste of handmade work as a one-of-a-kind item. It is a size that is easy to use for soy sauce dishes, etc. Perfect for a small amount of side dishes. Although small, it has depth. I purchased 4 pieces from the kiln about 10 years ago, and I kept these 2 as spares. About [Togei Tamaki] * Nozomi and Wakako Tamaki Both husband and wife were raised in Tsuboya.
