VINTAGE LACQUERWARE LIDDED RICE BOWL
Passed down through two generations, these early Showa-era lacquerware lidded rice/suimono bowls were once reserved for special occasions only. Each bowl glows in a rich, deep iron-red, adorned with hand-painted gilt chrysanthemums — a symbol of longevity and resilience, traditionally linked to the Imperial family.
The footed lids are designed to keep contents warm but also double as small side dishes, combining practical function with elegant form.
See matching, slightly larger and shallower, peony nimono bowls here.
