✨ Extremely Rare Japanese Antique 1950s Rice Bowls (Owan) – Set No. 42 ✨

An extraordinary and highly collectible set of authentic Japanese Owan rice bowls from the 1950s, featuring exceptional traditional craftsmanship and elegant 24K gold hand-painted detailing.

This rare Set No. 42 was sourced directly from an official Japanese Government Antique Auction, making it a genuine historical collectible with verified provenance. The bowls remain unused and preserved in remarkable condition, an increasingly rare find even within Japan.

Each bowl showcases refined lacquerware artistry with beautifully hand-painted lids accented in genuine 24K gold. The delicate decorative work reflects the elegance and sophistication of mid-century Japanese tableware traditions.

Included with the set are the original signed paper bag and the original wooden storage box, both showing authentic age-related wear that further enhances the historical character and authenticity of the collection.

This is more than tableware — it is a preserved piece of Japanese cultural history suitable for collectors, tea ceremony enthusiasts, museums, or refined interior displays.

✨ Perfect For:
• Japanese lacquerware collectors
• Tea ceremony enthusiasts
• Wabi-sabi interiors
• Asian antique collections
• Japanese dining décor
• Museum-quality displays
