Japanese Blue and White Bowls, Graphic Patterns – Set of 3

Three bowls, three blue and white graphic patterns: a set that plays with lines.

Each bowl has its own decoration: stylised waves for the first, vertical stripes for the second, a grid of crossed lines for the third. The crisp, regular blue on a white background gives the set a style that is both traditional and modern.

These decorations take up patterns long found on textiles and tableware in Japan. The vertical stripes recall tokusa, inspired by the straight stems of horsetail, and the waves evoke the sea surrounding the archipelago.

Their flared shape and 18 cm diameter suit noodles, soups, salads or rice dishes with toppings. The unglazed, clay-coloured foot adds a warm note and marks the base.

Together on the table, they form a coherent set without being identical: everyone can recognise their bowl, and the shared blue keeps the set harmonious.
