Lucky Bird Chrysanthemum Ceramic Bowl - Elegant Asian-Inspired Serving Dish for Tea, Rice & Soup | Perfect for Home Dining, Gifts & Cultural Decor

Product Description

This bowl features exquisite sometsuke designs hand-painted by master craftsman Yamamoto Choza. At the bottom of the bowl lies a botanical and bird motif highlighted with circular patterns in fine lines of blue. The intricacies of each design invite a closer look.

The porcelain base is crafted using the katauchi method. A smooth clay layer is applied over a mold and then meticulously hand-shaped with controlled pressure to replicate various forms, such as this chrysanthemum-inspired bowl. The end result is a delicately thin and uniformly finished piece.

This exquisite medium bowl showcases a mesmerizing auspicious bird and a chrysanthemum motif that encapsulates the spirit of Japanese sometsuke craftsmanship. At first glance, the meticulously carved designs—with their graceful curves and remarkable depth—immediately draw the eye. Each brushstroke is expertly applied to highlight the bowl’s elegant Kutani form, harmonizing traditional design with modern refinement. As the glaze settles during firing, the initially defined details gently soften, endowing the piece with a tranquil, almost otherworldly charm. 

What truly distinguishes this bowl is the seamless fusion of structure and ornamentation: its balanced, well-proportioned shape offers the perfect canvas for the intricate blue motifs, weaving a unified, compelling narrative across the luminous porcelain. This bowl stands as a testament to the artisan’s exceptional skill and profound respect for Japan’s cultural heritage, while imparting a sophisticated allure to any contemporary setting.

Ideally sized to plate a single serving of sashimi or a stewed dish, the depth of the bowl and the embellishments on the rim enhance the presentation.
