    Description

    On the left is a vintage 1950's porcelain  dunbori bowl with lid is hand-thrown bowl and lid and hand-painted and moriaged applied 3-leaf pattern on both. Donburi  (literally "bowl") is a Japanese "rice-bowl dish" consisting of meat, vegetables or other ingredients simmered together and served over rice in an oversized rice bowl which are also called donburi. If one needs to distinguish, the bowl is called donburi-bachi and the food is called donburi-mono. The bowl measures 4.5" high with the lid in place, 6" diameter, with a 2.375" diameter base and a .5" diameter rise underneath the bowl.  The lid measures 5.25" diameter, 2" top and a .5" rise underneath that serves as a handle to move the lid. The bowl and lid together weigh 1 lb., 1 oz.
    On the right is a vintage 1970's stoneware dunbori bowl with lid is hand-thrown bowl and lid and hand-painted a rock and cherry blossom scene on both.  The bowl measures 4.5" high with the lid in place, 6.125" diameter, with a 2.375" diameter base and a .375" diameter rise underneath the bowl.  The lid measures 5.25" diameter, 2.125" top and a .25" rise underneath that serves as a handle to move the lid. The bowl and lid together weigh 1 lb., 4 ozs.
    These two bowls were not among the items that were chosen by our children or their families to be kept even though each is a one of a kind in our household
    These two bowls were only used for kastudon, oyakadon and other such Japanese meals when made at home before the kids when off to school in the 1990's. When the kids left home, these bowls were pushed to the back of the cabinet.  The bowls have not been used this century.  Neither bowl has any chips, cracks, or damage of any kind that can be seen by eye or felt by hand. All pictures were taken in a camera tent.  The empty 2002 Coke can is not for sale, but to illustrate the size of the dunbori bowls.   Will answer all questions promptly.  Will securely package and ship with USPS priority mail with insurance and tracking provided.
