4½ in Shinkai Green Ceramic Bowl, 5 oz — HS535-FG

Give a small side course a sculpted setting with the HS535-FG Shinkai green ceramic bowl. The flared, faceted body rises to a wavy irregular edge, with charcoal coloring outside and an emerald-and-cream center. It holds 5 oz and measures 4½ inches in diameter by 2½ inches high, giving a modest serving of vegetables, tofu or dessert a distinct outline at the table.

Keep the portion centered so the mottled green and cream interior remains visible around it. Square bowls and small plates from the same Shinkai range provide other serving shapes in blue and green, sharing the dark edges and lighter centers. Pair this bowl with a plain main plate for a savory accompaniment, or use it for a small dessert after the meal. Wooden chopsticks on a rest and a clear water glass finish a simple place setting.
