This is an item my 99-year-old (and very energetic!) grandfather cherished. It was kept in its original box. I am selling a set of 5. The lacquer work is stunningly beautiful, and delicate carvings are inlaid with intricate gold leaf floral designs. This is a valuable item, but it is also old. As far as I can see, there are no major scratches or stains. Please consider this if you are not concerned about minor imperfections. Although there are no signs of use, please understand that this is a vintage, antique item. *As this item has been stored for a long time, there may be some minor scratches or imperfections that I have missed. Please be aware of this. Please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned. Diameter: 12.7 cm Height: 7.8 cm (including the lid handle) These are shallow soup bowls.
