This is a set of three matching cups/small bowls (large, medium, and small) featuring a beautiful vermilion base color and gold painted design. Perfect for serving otoso (ceremonial sake) or as sake cups, as well as for serving delicacies, small dishes, or appetizers. Their versatile size makes them easy to use, and they will brighten up your table setting just by placing them out for New Year's or other celebrations. Vermilion has long been considered a color of "warding off evil" and "celebration," and the addition of gold further enhances the auspiciousness and elegance. The matching designs in different sizes create a rhythm in your presentation and beautifully complement your dishes. They are also recommended for serving a variety of osechi (New Year's) dishes, such as black beans, namasu (vinegared vegetables), and herring roe, or as small bowls for aperitifs, sweets, or desserts. ■Condition ・Used ・Due to long-term storage, there are some scratches and minor imperfections from aging. ・There are some areas with slight color unevenness on the rims (see photos). ※All of these do not affect use, and are part of the charm of old lacquerware. ■Set Contents ・Vermilion Cups/Small Bowls ・Large, Medium, and Small, each 1 piece (3 pieces total) ■Size 【Diameter】 ・Large: Approx. 10.6cm ・Medium: Approx. 9.7cm ・Small: Approx. 9.0cm 【Height】 ・Large: Approx. 3.6cm ・Medium: Approx. 3.3cm ・Small: Approx. 3.0cm ■Recommended for: ・Those looking for tableware for New Year's or celebratory meals ・Those who want tableware that can be used as both sake cups and small bowls ・Those who like the gorgeous combination of vermilion and gold in Japanese tableware ・Those who like Showa-era, antique, and retro lacquerware ・Those who enjoy plating and presentation #SakeCup #JapaneseTableware #SakeCup #SakeVessel #SmallBowl #DelicacyHolder #AppetizerPlate #Mukozuke (Side Dish) #JapaneseTableware #JapaneseVessels #GoldLeaf #GoldLeafDesign #MakieStyle #CelebratoryVessels #Auspicious #NewYears #NewYear #CelebratoryMeal #Osechi #OsechiCuisine #SpecialDay #ForGuests #Hospitality #WaModern #TraditionalCrafts #ShowaRetro #VintageTableware #ColorfulTable #Retro #SetSale #ThreePieceSet #DifferentSizes #UsedTableware #LongTermStorage #WoodenBoxStorage #JapaneseCulture #Otoso
