Black & Red Fine-Grain Faceted Lacquer-Finish Bowl — 4½ in

Multirow polygon facets and fine vertical lines give the K309-1 bowl a detailed black exterior around its red interior. The repeated sections create a geometric profile, while the contrasting inside provides a clear background for soup, rice or an accompaniment. This Japanese-made bowl has a lacquer finish and measures 4½ inches in diameter by 2.65 inches high.

Give an individual course its own vessel beside a main plate and separate side dishes, leaving some of the red interior visible around the serving. The footed form and fine exterior grain add detail within a black-and-red setting without an illustrated motif. Wooden chopsticks introduce a warm accent, and a clear drinking glass keeps drink service simple. The bowl is microwave safe and dishwasher safe for preparation and cleanup around the meal.
