These bowls feature a rustic white bran glaze and an impressive iron-painted willow cat design. They are versatile "all-purpose" bowls, perfect not only for soba dipping sauce but also as small bowls, dessert cups, teacups, or for side dishes. They blend seamlessly into a Japanese dining table and add a gentle touch of color to your daily life. ※ Due to the handmade nature of Japanese pottery, each piece has its own unique characteristics and appearance. The size may also vary slightly depending on the product. Differences in color, glaze density, patterns, cracks (fine cracks), visible areas of the clay body, small holes, glaze drips, color unevenness, blurring, distortion, scorch marks, and uneven firing may occur in the products. Please understand these characteristics before purchasing. ※ Please note that the actual color of the product may differ from the color on the screen due to the shooting environment and the device you are viewing. ※ Products will be shipped at random from the available stock. ※ Notes on using microwave and dishwasher: ◇ Microwave / Oven ※ Since earthenware is highly absorbent, be careful as heating it in the microwave when it has absorbed a lot of moisture can cause the moisture to expand rapidly and crack the bowl. ※ Be careful as heating it when it is very cold, such as after being in the refrigerator, can cause it to crack. ◇ Dishwasher ※ Please load the dishes so they don't bump into each other too much. (Earthenware, which is less strong than porcelain, is prone to cracking.) ※ Since earthenware is highly absorbent, dry it well after washing. ※ We have a variety of other tableware items for sale, so please take a look. #nanaroom #MatsuBokkuri ↑ Same seller, can be combined for shipping.
