Japanese Blue and White Small Bowls, Assorted Patterns – Set of 5

Five small blue and white bowls, five patterns: frieze, spiral, stripes, marbled and flowers.

Each small bowl has its own decoration: a geometric frieze, a large spiral, stripes, a marbled pattern or flowers. The blue, applied with spontaneity, varies from one piece to another, which gives the set a very lively charm.

Their slightly wavy rims soften the shape and give them the look of small open flowers. In Japan, these small dishes are part of every meal: they hold sauces, condiments and small side portions.

At 11 cm in diameter and 5.2 cm high, they are ideal for soy sauce, wasabi, pickles, olives, dried fruit or a small dessert.

Together on the table, they form a mismatched yet harmonious set thanks to the shared blue, perfect for an aperitif or a shared meal.
