Hand Decorated Vintage Small Footed Soy Dish from Japan - 5

A set of 5 small ceramic soy dishes sit atop a round footing and are finished in a matte black glaze. These art-like dishes are hand decorated with a tan speckling across the top of the bowl. The underside of the dish as well as the rim around the top has cross-hatching etched into the surface. These lovely dishes are perfect for soy sauce dipping or can be used to hold any light fruit or salad mix. Got these in Japan in 2003 and have only been used once...in great condition, no chips. Come in a set of 5 because the Japanese believe the 5 senses are essential in experiencing good food. Each dish measures 5" across and 1.5" high.
