Description
This Japanese porcelain noodle bowl wears a bold flower design in deep blue around its angled sides, with a touch of warm brown at the heart of each bloom. The glaze is a soft, pale grey with a creamy beige warmth, and a fine brown line runs around the rim to frame the bowl as you look down into it. It measures about 19cm across and 7.8cm tall, a generous size that holds a full serving of noodles with plenty of room for broth and toppings. The sides flare out from a neat raised foot, so the bowl sits steadily on the table and the food is easy to reach with chopsticks or a spoon.
A good noodle bowl earns its place in the kitchen cupboard. We like this one for ramen, udon and pho, and it works as well for a hearty soup, a rice bowl, a fresh salad or a midweek stir-fry. On the dining table, its blue and cream colouring sits happily with plain white crockery or other blue and white pieces, and it looks equally at home on a breakfast bar for a quick supper. It suits anyone who enjoys Japanese cooking at home or simply wants a bowl with more character than plain white.
Porcelain gives the bowl a glazed finish, and it is dishwasher safe on the top rack only. Due to the nature of the material, the surface of the glaze may show minute cracks, small irregularities or tiny holes; these are part of its character rather than faults. The colours, shapes and pattern details can vary a little from piece to piece, so each bowl has small differences of its own. Between washes, a wipe with a soft damp cloth keeps the glaze looking fresh. Set it out with chopsticks and a spoon for a relaxed noodle night at home, or wrap one up as a thoughtful gift.
