Vintage Japanese Bowls, Soup Bowls, Lotus Flowers, Sushi Bowls, Ceramic Dinnerware, Shallow Bowls, Oriental Chinoiserie, Suimonowan Asian Dinnerware, (Discontinued) Made in Japan by Sone China Vintage 1970's - 1980's (estimated) Details: This a very pretty pattern and unusual shaped bowls in the Suimonowan style. Unlike the rounded bowls used in the West, these are truly Japanese style bowls used mainly for soup, rice, noodles, and sushi. They're made of stoneware with a very simple design of Lotus Flowers/Water Lilies in red and white alongside smaller white flowers. There are green leaves and blue tones to represent the water. Same pattern is on both sides and bowls are rimmed in gold. The backstamp reads "Sone China Nagoya". These plates would look especially nice on a Spring or Summer table setting, perhaps with other earthy items like bamboo flatware and weaved sea grass/wicker place mats. There are many uses for these bowls outside the dinning table. Materials: Stonew
