Due to the busy season at work, shipping may be temporarily suspended. Please be sure to read the profile before purchasing. m(_ _)m. *********************************** Two Ryuhogama noodle bowls. Plus two additional spoons, for a total of four items. Ryuhogama, a Sanyo pottery company that no longer exists. They released many items with a good sense of design based on Ko-Imari. This is one of those items. Large sometsuke karakusa (Chinese-style floral arabesque) patterns are firmly placed on the outside and inside. The bold and clear design shines on the glossy porcelain surface. The slight unevenness of the rokurume (potter's wheel marks) design gives it the atmosphere of old pottery. It's a wonderful finish. The spoons I prepared for the photos fit perfectly, so I'll include them as is ^_^. *The color may look slightly different depending on the lighting and natural light. Please understand and acknowledge this. Size: [Noodle Bowl] Diameter approx. 20.7 cm, height approx. 7.8 cm. [Spoon] Length approx. 13.5 cm, porcelain. As a noodle bowl, for udon, soba, ramen, and soups such as water dumplings and wontons. As a donburi bowl, for chuka don (Chinese-style rice bowl) and gyudon (beef bowl). Since it is a bowl with a beautiful flared rim, it can also be used for various dishes as a serving bowl, such as simmered dishes, Japanese side dishes, salads, and fruits. It would also be lovely to serve chirashi sushi (scattered sushi) in it. It is a wonderful item that can be used not only for Japanese food but also for Chinese and ethnic cuisine ^_^. I received these quite a while ago, and they were buried during a move. Unused. No cracks, chips, or water stains. For those who love tableware, or those who are looking for it, how about it (^-^)? These items are already difficult to obtain. Please understand that they have been stored at home, and consider purchasing. Please forgive any original glaze unevenness or storage scratches that can be seen depending on the light. I have discarded the bulky boxes during the move. I will pack them securely with bubble wrap.
