Soup Bowl (Japan)

This is a Soup Bowl. It was manufactured by Arita Porcelain Company and distributed by Bloomingdale's. We acquired it in 1986. Its medium is gilt, enameled porcelain. It is a part of the Product Design and Decorative Arts department.

This object was donated by Bloomingdale's. It is credited Gift of Bloomingdale's.

Dishes and cups, in assorted shades of light brown and off-white, are approximately arranged in two rows on a pale blue surface. From left to right, the front row featrures a stack of three flat plates, a larger white dish with a brown elliptical design in the center, and a similarly decorated lipped shallow dish to the right. Behind this row, again from left to right, is a solid light brown, shallow dish. Behind this dish is a white, handleless cup, which darkens in shade to a reddish-brown near the bottom. Next to the cup is a larger, off-white serving bowl, within which there is a smaller, light brown bowl. To its right are five cups, all without handles; three light brown cups stacked atop each other, and two off-white cups side-by-side. The latter are faintly shaded in a light, reddish-brown around the bottom. Two organic shapes, one resin-like and honey brown in color, and another, solid black crumpled object, are placed in the left center and to the far right corner of the display.
