Set of two octagonal small bowls Sota Kiln (Arita-yaki) 11.5cm x Height 5.7cm Set of 4 Sota Kiln is particularly popular among Arita-yaki pottery studios. These handmade vessels have a gentle warmth and feature designs that are mainly sometsuke (blue and white) with classic patterns arranged in a modern way. These small bowls are perfect for a single serving of spinach or potato salad, and their simple design blends seamlessly with other tableware. The "flower petal pattern," carefully painted by skilled artisans, is inspired by peonies and hibiscus, and appears to float three-dimensionally. The design extends to the rim, making the dishes look elegant when food is served. The vessels themselves are not pure white, but slightly bluish.
