These are exceptional quality hard-fired porcelain bowls. The form is beautifully conceived from Sung chinese and japanese tea bowl heritages. The foot to rim dimension is perfect for holding with hot foods. The only things I wish was different is the texture of the interior decoration which will be unpleasant when touched with a fork or spoon (no problem with chop sticks), and could present an ease of cleaning problem. It would have been better to put the decoration on the outside. But I recommend these highly compared to other choices.

Very good value for stoneware. The contoured cherry blossom motif inside the bowls are very pleasing to view while eating or when the bowls are presented on a table. The volume is ideal for soups and noodles. I do find it odd that it comes in a set of six and not four or eight.

Tried to contact vendor about this, but they were unresponsive. Caveat Emptor. They are beautiful and I enjoy using them. When they arrived the box had a huge dent in it, it was so poorly packaged with those flimsy air pockets and not enough of them to prevent the internal product box from shifting toward its doom - luckily five of the six didn't break. The vendor hasn't written back in two weeks and counting.
