This is a wooden, lacquered, and cloth-covered Negoro-style large bowl with the appealing warmth of wood. Ideal as a kneading bowl for noodles like soba and udon, or as a serving bowl for dishes like chirashi sushi at gatherings. ↓ Many other items are also available. #goldexpress999's tableware list is here Size: Diameter: 30cm Height: 9.3cm Please forgive any discrepancies due to amateur measurements. ----------------- One of Japan's lacquer techniques. Red lacquer (or black lacquer) is applied over a base coat of black lacquer (or red lacquer). Afterward, the surface color is intentionally polished away to create a finish that allows you to enjoy the contrast between red and black. ----------------- After purchase, it was used a few times and has been stored in a cupboard in its box recently. There are no noticeable stains, scratches, chips, or cracks. It has a beautiful sheen and is in good condition. It is an item that can still be used for a long time. The box and turmeric wrapping are included, but there is writing on them with a marker. Please check the condition in the images. I would like to sell it to someone who will enjoy using it. The color in the first photo is closest to the actual item. (I took the photos in natural light, but they may appear darker.) The actual product may look slightly different in color depending on your monitor environment and the shooting environment. Thank you for your understanding. Please be aware that there may be oversights due to amateur inspection. If you are at all concerned, please refrain from purchasing. Thank you for your understanding of home storage and used items.
