Daitoua Neko Chigura Dora Rice Bowl - 11.5cm
Dora is the tabby of the Neko Chigura series, and the quietest of the four: drawn mid-nap, its stripes in a soft indigo that keeps the bowl calm rather than busy.
The 11.5cm size holds a standard serving of rice and doubles readily for small donburi, miso soup, or side dishes.
