A multitude of leafy curlicues creates a stunning, deep indigo blue arabesque motif on this blue and white Japanese bowl. The design of simplified leaves over spiraling vines fills not only the outside, but also the inside the bowl, for a playful ornamental effect.

Due to their natural tendency to keep growing, vines are considered to be a symbol of longevity and are often depicted on Japanese tableware.

With its generous size, this bowl is perfect for gyudon, oyakodon, and other donburi dishes. It’s also ideal for serving noodle dishes like udon or soba, accommodating hearty portions with plenty of toppings.
