Small Serving & Rice Bowls

Kobachi (小鉢) and Chawan (茶碗) are staples of Japanese tableware — kobachi are small bowls used for side dishes, pickles, and individual portions, while chawan are the everyday bowls used for serving steamed rice at nearly every meal. Together, they reflect the varied scale and function of bowls in Japanese dining.

Each piece in this collection is secondhand and showcases a range of regional kilns, glazes, and hand-painted motifs, bringing understated character and craftsmanship to the everyday table.
