Mid Century Japanese rice ramen serving bowls set of 2

excellent condition. no chips, cracks or scratches This bowl is a blue-and-white porcelain piece marked "Made in Japan", likely from the mid-20th century (1950s–1970s) when Japan exported large amounts of ceramics to the U.S. and Europe. STYLE & DECORATION * The swirling vine pattern with stylized leaves is in the traditional Chinese-inspired motif, but executed in a more modern Japanese export style. * The design is done in underglaze cobalt blue with white left in reserve, similar to Chinese Ming revival wares, but the smoother glaze and lighter body are typical of Japanese production. MARK & DATING * The "Made in Japan" mark was widely used after 1921 when U.S. import regulations required English country-of-origin marks. * By the 1950s–70s, Japanese ceramics like this were produced for everyday tableware and decorative use.
