A small Japanese porcelain bowl with a fitted lid, decorated with a classic blue-and-white karakusa vine pattern.
This style of covered bowl is traditionally used for chawanmushi, Japanese steamed egg custard, but its beautiful and practical form makes it suitable for much more.
Use it for small servings of rice, soup, side dishes, desserts, tea, snacks, condiments, or other small dishes. The lid also makes it a beautiful vessel simply displayed on a table or shelf.
The flowing indigo karakusa pattern against white porcelain has a timeless character that works beautifully with both traditional Japanese table settings and contemporary interiors.
