Established in 1921, the 'Little Solider' kiln/Kaneko Kohyo has provided quality tableware for almost one century. Rinka is one of their most popular dinnerware collections. Even though it is made of porcelain, the texture and look are like earthenware. The colour of the glaze is natural and gives people warmth. Speaking of the look, the shape of this tableware is not flat but has some curves, which can hold a decent amount of soup or sauce. Rinka is a traditional Japanese design that references flower petals. Instead of 'plate', the Japanese named it "鉢" (commonly translated to 'bowl' in English). There are three supporting points at the bottom of each bowl like a tripod connecting to the bowl into one piece without a trace. We can also find the 100 years old kiln name engraved at the bottom in black. As every piece has its handmade feature, slight irregularities in size, glaze, colour and texture might occur and reflect the nature of the artisan product. ■ Designed and Made In Japan ■ Colours to Choose: White, Black (New), Blue (New) or Pink (New) ■ Microwave safe & Dishwasher safe ■ Material: Porcelain ■ Size: 8.5cm diameter (top), 3 cm height
