Beautiful set of five vintage Japanese Kyō-yaki style tea bowls, sold by Tachikichi (橘吉) — a renowned Kyoto tableware purveyor established in 1752 and still operating today.

Each bowl features a ribbed (kushime) exterior with a gilt rim, hand-decorated with a matching noshi motif (a traditional folded ribbon/bundle design symbolizing celebration and good fortune). All five bowls are uniform in pattern, color, and size, making a cohesive matched set.

Compact and versatile — ideal for tea, rice, or small side dishes. Each bowl measures approximately 3.25” in diameter at the rim and 2” tall.
