Set of 4 Octagonal Small Bowls / Sometsuke (Blue and White) / Matsuyama Kiln Mark / Japanese Tableware These are octagonal sometsuke small bowls that have been used for a long time at my grandmother's house. The kiln mark on the bottom reads "Matsuyama," and they have a simple and elegant atmosphere typical of Japanese tableware from the Showa to early Heisei periods. The bowls feature paintings of flowers and plants in soft shades of indigo, and are the perfect size for simmered dishes, vinegared dishes, and side dishes. They are suitable for everyday use, as well as for New Year's meals and when guests are over. --- ■ Size (per bowl) Width: Approximately 8.5cm Height: Approximately 4.5cm ■ Condition No cracks or chips. There are very slight scratches and discoloration on the back due to home storage, but they are generally in good condition. I think you will be able to use them comfortably. ■ Quantity Set of 4 bowls with the same pattern ■ Shipping Carefully packed and shipped via anonymous delivery. #JapaneseTableware #Sometsuke #Indigo #OctagonalPlate #SmallBowl #MatsuyamaKiln #Matsuyama #RetroTableware #VintageTableware #ShowaRetro #NewYears #Hospitality #ServingBowl #Antique #Mingei #TablewareLover #OldTools #YearEndAndNewYear
