Chrysanthemum & Butterfly Porcelain Bowl - Medium Size Hand-Painted Serving Dish for Tea, Rice, or Decorative Display

Product Description

This medium bowl depicts a butterfly flying over a chrysanthemum, and the rim around it looks like a picture frame. The pattern is also drawn on the outside, making it a beautiful piece from any angle. 

For early Imari, the underglaze blue painted patterns are simple, often painted freely with blue paint called gosu. When fired, the base color of the ware becomes slightly tinted and has a semi-glossy appearance.

The size of 15.5 cm (6.1 in) is suitable for serving salads or side dishes such as sunomono (vinegared food), aemono (seasoned and sauced food), and nimono (simmered food). This is also perfect for serving desserts and fruits.
