Vintage Blue Floral Japanese Bowl And Dish Set (0331-25)

Handcrafted Japanese bowl and dish set in blue and white glaze, circa 1970s–1980s, featuring floral motifs and organic studio form.

This Japanese bowl and dish set features hand-painted floral motifs in layered blue and white glaze, made in Japan during the late Showa period, circa 1970s–1980s. The softly irregular rims and expressive brushwork reflect traditional studio ceramic techniques.

The calm palette and organic form make this set well suited for light serving, tea rituals, or display on open shelving. It complements minimalist, traditional, and Asian-inspired interiors while offering the quiet character collectors appreciate.

Gentle glaze crazing is present throughout, consistent with age and typical of vintage Japanese ceramics.

IMPORTANT NOTE: At Darling Della Vintage, we believe every scratch and bit of patina tells a story. Our pieces are 30+ years old and have lived full lives, so gentle wear, tiny chips, or age-worn charm are part of their soul — not flaws. We photograph and describe each item carefully, but please expect natural signs of age. Embracing vintage means embracing history — and we wouldn’t have it any other way.
