TB417 - Aizu-nuri Lidded Bowl 会津塗
Vintage item, never used. A refined set of Aizu-nuri 会津塗 suimono-wan (吸い物椀), traditional Japanese lidded soup bowls, decorated with an elegant orchid motif (蘭 / ran) in warm gold tones.
The set consists of five matching bowls with lids, each finished in a deep glossy black lacquer. Across the lids and bowl bodies, slender orchid leaves and blossoms are rendered in delicate gold-toned decoration, creating a graceful contrast against the dark surface. The design is restrained and elegant, with the floral motif flowing naturally around each piece rather than covering the entire surface.
Aizu-nuri (会津塗) is the traditional lacquerware of the Aizu region in Fukushima Prefecture, an area with a long history of lacquer craftsmanship. Aizu lacquerware is particularly known for its lustrous surfaces and decorative techniques using gold and colored motifs, producing tableware that is both practical and highly ornamental.
A suimono-wan (吸い物椀) is a lidded bowl traditionally used for serving clear soups (吸い物 / suimono) in Japanese cuisine. The lid helps retain heat and aroma until the moment the dish is served, making these bowls an important part of more formal Japanese meals, including kaiseki cuisine and celebratory dining.
