The sometsuke (blue and white) design has a certain charm, and the shape is also pleasing, making the food look even better. It can be used for anything, such as simmered dishes, vinegared dishes, and salads. It's very old, and there are some small imperfections and chips on the back. Please consider this condition before purchasing. I have a few more, so please let me know if you need more. I will wrap it in bubble wrap before shipping. Type... Japanese tableware Item...
