【Reunion Pair of Bowls】 Japanese Rice Bowl / Soup Bowl / Dining Bowl / Starting a Family Chicken / Housewarming, Wedding Gift

Bowls with a rounder body are soup bowls | Bowls with a straighter body are Japanese rice bowls. The early mornings in rural Yilan are often awakened by the crowing of roosters from one's own home or neighbors. Chickens are also a common sight, leisurely wandering in the courtyards of traditional siheyuan houses. Even tourists visiting Yilan make it a point to go to Jiaoxi to savor the must-try local delicacy, "Weng Kao Ji" (kiln-baked chicken). In traditional Taiwanese weddings, the "leading rooster" symbolizes the new couple starting their family, while "couple chickens" represent a wish for a blissful married life. In the Minnan dialect, "chicken" (雞, jī) sounds similar to "home" (家, ka), thus chickens also signify family reunion. Furthermore, "egg" (蛋, dàn) sounds like "generation" (代, dài), so a hen laying eggs symbolizes passing down blessings through generations. The Sanxing Siji Reunion Chicken tableware, designed with a distinctive local cultural blue-and-white pattern and crafted using unique classic blue-and-white porcelain techniques, allows you to enjoy the simple, rustic Yilan life scenery on your everyday dining table. 【Craftsmanship】 Hand-glazed.

The white glaze is hand-dipped, resulting in natural flowing patterns and minor imperfections. The hand-applied blue-and-white decal will exhibit variations in color intensity after firing.
