This is a beautiful, simple Japanese rice bowl from Tableware East. It's part of their 'Yasuragimeshi' series, and it just has a lovely, handmade feel to it. The bowl is about 4.7 inches in diameter (11.9 cm), which is the perfect size for a serving of rice, soup, noodles, or even a small salad. It's made from ceramic and has a graceful, rounded shape that feels great in your hands. It comes in three different colors (check the listing for which ones are available), so you can pick one that matches your table setting or get a few for a mix-and-match look. It's a 'Utsuwa' – which is a Japanese term for a vessel or container that's meant to be both functional and artistic. Using it somehow makes a simple meal feel a bit more special and mindful. It's sold as a single bowl, so you can buy just one or several. A lovely addition to any kitchen that appreciates minimalist, functional design.
