Two lidded bowls with a vermilion lacquer finish and a net pattern in black lacquer. The wooden box reads "Sou-shu Ami-kake Kashi-wan" (Vermilion Net Patterned Confectionery Bowls). Size (measured by an amateur): Diameter: 13.3cm Height: 8.5cm (with lid on) The wooden box and cloth bag are not included in the product. As they are hand-painted, the patterns and colors of each bowl are slightly different. There is some warping due to the natural wood (there is a slight misalignment between the lid and the body). Unlike modern tableware, they are not perfectly aligned. I have assembled them with the best possible fit, but... I appreciate your understanding. They appear to be the same as the bowls featured in the "Kaiseki Utensils" exhibit at the Tokyo National Museum of Nature and Science. Net Pattern Kaiseki Utensils (Partial) Made by the 5th generation Sotei Nakamura, Edo period, Kyouwa 1st year (1801) Favored by Gensou Soshu (Kakukakusai), the 6th generation of the Omotesenke school. There are no major chips or scratches that can be seen by the eye, but as these are items stored at home for a long time by an amateur, there may be oversights. Also, there are individual differences in how things are perceived, so please forgive any oversights, omissions, or slight discrepancies. #Antique #OldTools #Antique #Vintage #Retro #TeaCeremonyUtensils #GenuineLacquerBowl #TeaKaiseki #Bowls #SoupBowls #LiddedBowls #ConfectioneryBowls #StewBowls #Lacquerware #Omotesenke #Omotesenke #GensouSosa #NetPattern #ZouniBowls #KaisekiUtensils #KaisekiCuisine #NakamuraSotei #TokyoNationalMuseumofNatureandScience
