Chawanmushi Bowl
The unique steaming bowl called mushi wan (蒸し碗) is the size and shape of a tea cup and comes with a matching lid. It's used to make the popular Japanese dish chawanmushi, or Japanese steamed savory custard. This delicate appetizer is typically eaten with a small wooden or lacquered spoon. The bowl is also useful as a dessert cup to serve Western-style sweets like puddings and jellies.
Hasami Ware
The lineage of Hasami ware porcelain dates back over 400 years, and modern artisans still use many of the same time-honored methods to create their stunning pieces. Hasami ware, originating from the town of Hasami, shares close ties to porcelain from the Arita region of Japan, but each style produces itsown unique pieces.
