Bright white porcelain, pink iridescent stripes in varying widths, and red bamboo that looks painted by hand — these rice bowls are both delicate and quietly striking.
Made in Japan and signed by the artist (the mark unidentified), these three translucent porcelain bowls have an elegance that belies their modest size. The bamboo motif — rendered in what appears to be hand-applied enamel — catches the eye against the luminous iridescent ground. Light enough to feel almost weightless, substantial enough to feel like quality. A few minor surface scratches on the iridescent borders, photographed and disclosed; no cracks or chips.
A lovely gift for the collector of Japanese porcelain, anyone who loves a Japanese-inspired table, or someone who appreciates the beauty of artist-signed ceramics. Equally at home at the dinner table or displayed on a shelf.
