Thank you for viewing. This is a mukouzuke (small bowl) with the warm, earthy texture unique to Karatsu-yaki pottery and a charming hand-painted lattice pattern. Each piece has a different expression, adding a calm, Japanese atmosphere to your dining table. The unique octagonal form and the way the cracks (nyu, or crackle) appear are very beautiful. It can be used for a wide variety of dishes, such as sashimi, appetizers, small side dishes, and Japanese sweets. ★Condition ・No chips or cracks ・Overall in very good condition ・Please understand that the nyu (crackle) and glaze unevenness, which are characteristic of ceramics, are part of the Karatsu-yaki style. ※Please consider purchasing only if you understand that this is a USED item.
