D11〜13cm H6cm
A distinguished collection of ten rice bowls by Goro Suzuki, each with its own unique character. Showcasing a variety of styles—Oribe, Sometsuke (blue-and-white), and Kizeto—these bowls measure approximately 11–13 cm in diameter and 6 cm in height, making them ideal for everyday use while adding elegance to the dining table.
This set was exhibited at the Menard Art Museum in 2015 during “Goro Suzuki: Living with Clay, Playing with Clay” and published in the official exhibition catalog. With such provenance, these bowls carry both artistic significance and practical beauty.
