Arita Cacomi Budou Grape Bowl

Sale price$99.00

The Arita Cacomi Budou Grape Bowl by Shobido Honten is crafted from high-quality porcelain, featuring a captivating design of plump, cobalt blue grapes set against a crisp white background. The design is reminiscent of the classic Japanese "Kakiemon" style, known for its delicate brushwork and naturalistic motifs. The bowl's smooth, rounded form and scalloped rim add a touch of elegance, making it a pleasure to hold and behold.

Each bowl boasts a designated condiment rest nestled within its rim.  This clever feature keeps your flavorful additions, like soy sauce or sesame oil, neatly contained, preventing them from mingling with your soup. The bowl also features a discreet drainer built into its base.  This feature allows excess water to drain, even during dishwasher cycles, ensuring your bowl remains pristine. This feature also allows them to be stacked seamlessly.

Its generous size makes it perfect for serving various dishes, from rice and noodle bowls to soups and stews. The beautiful design also elevates it to the status of a decorative object. Displayed on a shelf or tabletop, the bowl will capture the eye and spark conversation with its timeless artistry and celebration of the natural world.
