Description
This flower ramen bowl is a Japanese porcelain piece with a soft grey-beige glaze and a bold floral design in deep blue and warm brown that wraps around the outside. Broad petals fan out from a round centre, while a fine brown line traces the rim and a brown band circles the foot. The glaze carries a light speckle that gives the surface a gentle, earthy look against the colour of the petals. It measures 18.4cm across and 8.2cm tall, a generous size for a full bowl of noodles without feeling oversized at the table.
We reach for it first for noodles: a steaming ramen, pho or udon with broth, toppings and fresh herbs sits well in its deep, gently flared shape, with room to lift the noodles with chopsticks. It suits rice bowls, poke, salads, soups and hearty stews just as well, or it can hold a shared side dish in the middle of the table. In a kitchen or dining room it brings a relaxed, traditional note to everyday meals, and the blue and brown flower looks just as good on an open shelf between uses as it does on a laid table for friends.
Porcelain gives the bowl a smooth, glossy finish inside and out, and it is dishwasher safe on the top rack only, so it can go straight in after supper. Because of the nature of the material, the glaze may show minute cracks, small holes and slight surface irregularities, and the colours, sizes, shapes and patterns of the glaze and details may vary from piece to piece, so each bowl is a little different from the next. We see that as part of its charm. Set one at each place for a noodle night at home, or wrap it with a favourite recipe as a thoughtful gift.
