Arita Cacomi Kabura Turnip Bowl

Sale price$99.00

The Arita Cacomi Kabura Turnip Bowl crafted from porcelain by the esteemed artisans of Shobido Honten features a playful design of a stylized turnip against a crisp white background. The cobalt blue design of traditional Japanese brushwork captures the essence of the turnip's form whimsically and elegantly. The bowl's form is unique and user-friendly, with a slightly shallow depth and a scalloped rim that adds a touch of sophistication.

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.

While its design makes it a perfect choice for serving small appetizers or condiments, it can also hold a single serving of rice or noodles. The bowl's whimsical design makes it a conversation starter when displayed on a shelf or tabletop. Its unique form and artistry will continue to capture the eye and bring a smile to your face.
