SB bowl 140, light green

1616 / arita japan's SB bowl delights with its soft, light green colour. The bowl is the ideal size for a breakfast or soup bowl, and it can also be used for serving snacks, sweets and other desserts. Outside the kitchen, the SB bowl finds its place in the livingroom or bedroom as a storage container for the tiny treasures of home.

Designed by Stegan Scholte and Carole Baijings, the SB collection gives a modern interpretation of traditional Japanese tableware with its delicate colours: aquarelle-blue, light pink, red-orange and ochre. The porcelain tableware captivates as part of day-to-day life as well as festive occasions.

Scholten & Baijings

Launched in 2012, 1616 / arita japan is a Japanese ceramics brand best known for its tableware designs that combine Asian handicraft traditions with influences from European culture. The brand name 1616 / arita japan might seem curious at first, so let us tell you the story behind it: the first part, 1616, refers to the year when Koreans first brought the art of pottery to Japan. Arita, in turn, is a town on Kyushu Island in southern Japan, where the Korean ceramists landed and where they introduced making pottery to the Japanese. So, in a nutshell, the name refers not only to the brand’s own origins but the origins of Japanese ceramics in general!
