Description

The Plum Petal Stripe Rice Bowl by Kouraku Kiln is a fine example of Arita ware, designed to bring both grace and practicality to the table. Inspired by the traditional tokusa motif, slender hand-painted lines extend upward in a rhythmic pattern, echoing the natural form of horsetail grass. These lines curve into soft plum blossom shapes at the rim and base, creating a gentle floral impression that feels fresh yet deeply rooted in Japanese design.

The tall, flared shape provides just the right balance of elegance and usability. Perfect for serving rice, soups, or small donburi dishes, it offers versatility that suits both everyday meals and more thoughtful gatherings. Lightweight yet sturdy, the bowl rests comfortably in the hand, making it an easy favorite for daily use.

Available in four colors—green, blue, orange, and red—each version brings its own warmth and personality. Whether chosen individually or combined as a set, the Plum Petal Stripe Rice Bowl adds harmony, artistry, and a touch of refinement to every dining experience.

More Details

Arita Ware

Arita ware, Japan’s first porcelain, originated in the early 17th century in the town of Arita, Saga Prefecture. Using pure porcelain stone sourced from the mountains of Amakusa, artisans created brilliantly white ceramics that quickly became celebrated for their beauty and strength. During the Edo period, Arita grew into a major center of porcelain production, with its works exported to Europe through the port of Imari, where they captivated collectors and royal courts alike. Today, Arita ware continues to embody the harmony of artistry and function, bringing timeless elegance to modern dining around the world.

Rice Bowl

The rice bowl, called ochawan (お茶碗) or simply chawan, is the most personal element among Japanese tableware. In Japan, each family member typically has their own personal rice bowl that they choose based on preference for portion size, material, and design. They may change bowls to match the season or occasion, too. For a bowl that holds a standard one-cup (150 g, 5.3 oz) serving of Japanese steamed rice, choose one that's 4.7 inches (12 cm) across and 2.4 inches (6 cm) high. For a smaller serving size (130 g, 4.6 oz), we recommend a bowl that's about 4.5 inches (11.4 cm) across and 2.3 inches (5.7 cm) high.

FAQ

Are the small dents, pinholes, or texture marks on this ceramic piece a defect?

No. These marks are normal characteristics of handcrafted Japanese ceramics, formed during shaping, glazing, or firing in small kilns. Subtle dents, tiny pinholes, and slight texture variations are part of the artisan process — not defects. If you see clear cracks, chips, or peeling glaze, please email support@jocgoods.com with photos.

Are the small black or dark specks in the glaze safe?

Yes, the dark specks are safe. They are natural iron minerals in the clay that react during high-temperature firing, leaving small marks under the glaze. They do not affect food safety, durability, or performance, and are part of the organic character of handmade Japanese pottery.

Do your ceramic dishes contain lead or cadmium?

Some glazed ceramic pieces may contain trace amounts of lead or cadmium sealed beneath the glaze, at levels safe for food use. Japanese ceramic tableware is regulated under the Food Sanitation Act, which sets leaching limits for lead and cadmium in glazed tableware. Testing standards differ by country, so we cannot guarantee compliance with every regional regulation.

Why does each handcrafted bowl or plate look slightly different from the photo?

Each piece is shaped, glazed, and fired by hand in small artisan kilns across Japan, so subtle differences in color, glaze pattern, weight, and even rim shape are expected. No two pieces are identical. This natural variation is what makes each item one of a kind, not a quality flaw.

Even if a ceramic piece is dishwasher safe, should I still hand-wash it?

Dishwasher-safe pieces can go in the dishwasher, and doing so will not damage the glaze. That said, ceramic (earthenware) is more prone to chipping than porcelain, and pieces can knock against the rack or other dishes while loading and unloading — which is the most common cause of small chips. For longevity, hand-washing with warm water and a soft sponge is gentler.

Can I add a gift message to my order?

Yes. You may add a personalized gift message of up to 250 characters at checkout — it is printed on a card and included inside the package. Prices and order details are never shown on the card or anywhere in the shipment, so the recipient sees only your message and the gift itself.

Will my order be wrapped as a gift?

Yes. Every JOC Goods order is wrapped in a traditional Japanese furoshiki cloth before shipping at no extra charge — both gifts and personal orders. If your order includes many or large items, the furoshiki may be packed inside the box rather than wrapped around them. Prices are never included in any shipment.
