Experience the artistry and elegance of traditional Japanese ceramics with this 5-piece small bowl set crafted in the Kutani ware style.

Kutani ware (九谷焼) is a distinguished pottery tradition from Ishikawa Prefecture, originating in the mid-17th century. Renowned for its richly colored overglaze enamels with gold and intense hues, combined with intricate designs, it is considered one of the most luxurious and decorative styles of Japanese ceramics.

Ceramic Type: Kutani ware
Originating in Kutani village, Ishikawa Prefecture, Kutani ware is characterized by vibrant overglaze painting after the initial firing, featuring bold reds, greens, yellows, purples, and use of gold. Designs often include nature motifs—flowers, birds, landscapes—and intricate geometric patterns.

Each bowl is hand-painted using overglaze enamel techniques, which require precise brushwork and multiple firings. Scenes and motifs are richly colored on a glossy white porcelain base.
