This enchanting Kobachi bowl features a design evocative of a delicate plum blossom on the stem of the bowl, accompanying a shimmering raised dot pattern known as "Arare".

"Arare", a pattern in which large and small dots are lined up in rows, was difficult to reproduce in Japan prior to the Edo period. Master artisans such as Hirota Glass perfected this technique after advancements in glassmaking technology. Since then, the simple and beautiful pattern of dots has long been loved in Japan.
