This is a Wajima-nuri lacquerware bowl. It's a piece with a dignified black lacquer exterior and a charming vermilion lacquer net pattern. This item corresponds to a nimono-wan (simmered dish bowl) used in kaiseki cuisine. The design features a combination of the wood grain, the net pattern, and a rich tea-like aesthetic. It's a generously sized bowl, perfect for ozoni (New Year's mochi soup). It's in excellent condition, having only been stored. The size is 13.6 cm in diameter and 10 cm in height. There are 5 in stock. Please understand that these are vintage items.
