A hand-painted blue-and-white porcelain bowl for small side dishes, fruit, dessert, or display. The 14 cm kiriko-bachi form uses crisp faceted sides, a scalloped rim, and four cobalt Kosome Karakusa arabesque panels. A fine iron-brown line gives the blue-and-white surface a quiet edge.

How it works at the table

The shallow bowl is sized for namasu, pickles, a small salad, fruit, dessert, or an individual side dish. Its recessed square centre and radiating facets keep the form visually distinct even when the bowl is in use.

Hand-painted character

Cobalt brush density, the iron rim line, and the balance of the arabesque panels vary slightly from piece to piece. These differences are part of the hand-painted kosome character, not production defects. A gold-foil Bijutsu Aritayaki cooperative sticker is applied to the base; the cobalt base signature is visible but not legible enough to attribute to a named potter.

Care

Microwave and dishwasher safe. Avoid scouring pads and stack carefully: the scalloped rim is the most vulnerable edge. Hand washing is the gentlest option for long-term use.

The gold-foil 美術有田焼 (Bijutsu-Aritayaki) cooperative cert sticker on the base places this piece in the cooperative's art-tier classification — a meaningful authenticity signal for collectors of hand-painted Arita work.

Care instructions

Microwave and dishwasher safe (consistent with modern Arita / Hasami sometsuke practice — sometsuke underglaze is sealed beneath the clear gloss; iron-pigment rim line is similarly underglaze-stable).

Avoid scouring pads on the painted areas.

Stack with care — the scalloped rim is the most vulnerable edge if stacked under heavier weight.

Hand-painted cobalt brushwork and the cobalt cursive base signature vary between pieces; this hand-applied character is the kosome ("old-indigo") aesthetic, not a defect.

Returns / damage support
