Old Owan bowls with beautiful engraving.
This Owan bowl is slightly bigger (wider) than regular piece.
In Japan the Owan bowls are for serving, not only soup, but varieties of food (eg. appetizer).
This bowl is not for soup (although it can be used for soup), so when you fill it with soup and put the lid on, the soup will stick to the lid.
The lid can be used as a small plate.
Urushi (Japanese Lacquer) has high antibacterial properties and makes the wood strong.
Urushi can be repeatedly extracted from a single tree, making it an eco-friendly varnish.
