This is a charming set of two lacquered bowls with a fruit motif in maki-e. The lids can also be used as small bowls. They're perfect for serving side dishes like pickles, or for adding salt kelp to zenzai (sweet red bean soup). They're also wonderful for serving clear soup, simmered dishes, zoni (New Year's soup), or sweets, making them versatile as a soup bowl, a simmered dish bowl, a New Year's soup bowl, or a sweet dish bowl. Suitable for both special occasions like New Year's and everyday use. The lacquer can be repainted to repair any color fading, chips, or cracks, allowing you to use them for many years to come. We hope you'll cherish them and care for them. ✔︎ This is a set of two bowls. ◎ Photos 1 and 2 are reference photos. ✔︎ These are old items, so there may be scratches, stains, color fading, scuffs, chips, discoloration, and lacquer cracks.
