Vintage Made in Japan Imari Ware Floral Lotus Petal Scalloped Edge Bowls with Gold Trim

Priced per Bowl - each bowl is marked in the photos, so when you choose your purchase, you know which one you will be getting.

Ceramic - porcelain decorative bowls. Japanese characters / Kanji on the bottom. Also called Arita ware.

Measurements (approximate):
Height: 3"
Width: 7" (across the top)
Width: 3" (across the bottom rim)

All bowls are marked with the same Kanji on the bottom. 2 are in blue and red, while 2 are in black and red. The 2 in the blue & red also have a silver sticker for National Silver Company and say Nagoya, Japan. Sometimes you see these bowls with Miyako marked on them, and although these have the same characters on the bottom as some of those, they do not say Miyako. The kanji characters in red are for Bi jutsu meaning "beautiful artwork or beautiful work of art", and the other characters are for Imari Ware. Should also date to the latter half of the 20th century. Usually these are said to be from 60s or 70s.

DECORATIVE BOWLS. I don't think these were meant for food use when these were made, so please keep this in mind as they are for decor only! Great to add an eclectic boho or authentic Japanese look to your living space.

IMPORTANT Color & CONDITION: These bowls are slightly different colors even though they are the same design. There are 4 bowls. 2 are darker colors with more detail in the larger flower (C & D). 2 have slightly brighter colors with less detail in the larger flower (A & B). The 2 bowls with the darker colors seem to be off-center with regards to the print at the tip of the lotus shape, and on the side it overlaps at one point (like the print was wrapped slightly off). The bowls show wear to the gold trim. Some spots more than others. One bowl has a small chip (Bowl A - circled in photo). There are also a few little flea bites and rough spots around the edges here and there, and general minor wear as these are vintage bowls. I have marked all the bowls and shown various photos to help show this wear/color/etc. Please examine and zoom as the photos are part of the description.
