This stunning blue and white porcelain Imari-yaki bowl from the late Edo period, features the repeating characters of 福寿 Fukuju.
With its beautiful repetition of auspicious symbols, this bowl is perfect as a celebratory present or as a good-luck gift for you and your family that can be passed down as an heirloom. Sturdy and large, this would work wonderfully as a fruit bowl, or for serving food when entertaining. This is the second one of its kind and we were happy to discover it after the first one was sold!
