The light, whimsical design brings a gentle warmth to the table, with the characterful illustration that the Neko Chigura series is known for.
At 11.5cm in diameter, the bowl is well sized for rice, small donburi portions, soups, and side dishes. Made by Daitoua from Mino ware porcelain, it is a practical and endearing piece for daily use — and a natural choice for cat lovers and admirers of culturally inspired tableware.
