Japanese Ramen Bowls, White Lotus – Set of 2

Two white ramen bowls, where fine blue lines draw a large open flower.

On a white background, fine blue lines divide the bowl into rounded petals that start at the foot and open towards the rim, like a corolla seen from the side. Two fine blue circles highlight the base.

This lotus decoration, clean and graphic, evokes a flower that, in Japan as throughout Asia, symbolises purity: it blooms above the water without keeping any trace of it.

Their conical shape, wide at the top, leaves room for noodles, broth and toppings. At 19 cm in diameter, 9.3 cm high and with a capacity of about 500 ml, they suit ramen, udon, soba or donburi.

Their luminous white shows off the colours of a broth and its toppings, for a simple and elegant table.
