Indigo Blue and White Floral Large Japanese Serving Bowl

✦ Why We Love It

藍の花 / Ai no hana / Flowers of indigo

White floral vines trail across a deep navy blue interior — bold, rich, and striking in the way only a reversed colourway can be. The Indigo Blue and White Floral Large Japanese Serving Bowl is a large porcelain bowl made in Japan, with a dark charcoal ribbed exterior and a warm rusty brown rim. 1400ml capacity, wide and generous. Dishwasher and microwave safe, and suitable for both home and restaurant use.

✦ A Little Piece of Japan

White floral vines on a deep indigo ground draw on one of the oldest traditions in Japanese ceramic decoration — the reversal of the classic blue-and-white palette to create something more dramatic and intimate. In Japanese craft, this technique is known as sometsuke (染付), the art of painting in cobalt blue on white porcelain, here inverted so the flowers emerge from the dark like moonlight through leaves. The deep indigo, ai-iro (藍色), has been central to Japanese ceramics and textiles for centuries — calm, enduring, and unmistakably Japanese.

At Tokyo Gallery, we believe you are not just buying a bowl. You are learning something meaningful about the culture and craftsmanship behind it — and bringing a little piece of Japan home.
