【Reunion】Medium Rice Bowl / Starting Household Chicken / Housewarming, Wedding Gift | Single Item

【Reunion】Medium Rice Bowl - Family Reunion The early mornings in Yilan's countryside are often awakened by the roosters of one's own or neighboring households. Chickens are also a common sight, leisurely wandering in the courtyards of traditional courtyard houses. Even tourists visiting Yilan make it a point to head to Jiaoxi to savor the must-try local delicacy, "Weng Kao Ji" (oven-baked chicken). In traditional Taiwanese weddings, the "leading rooster" symbolizes the start of a new household, while "couple chickens" represent a wish for a blissful marital life. In the Minnan dialect, "chicken" (雞) sounds similar to "home" (家), thus chickens also signify family reunion. Furthermore, "egg" (蛋) sounds similar to "generation" (代), and a hen laying eggs symbolizes passing down blessings through generations. The Sanxing Siji Reunion Chicken ware, designed with a unique local cultural blue-and-white pattern combined with exquisite classic blue-and-white porcelain craftsmanship, allows you to enjoy the simple beauty of Yilan life on your everyday dining table. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The design concept for this bowl originated from a request from a village grandmother. Her children had moved to work in other cities, leaving only her and her husband at home. She needed a soup bowl suitable for a single person, a somewhat poignant request. However, if such a vessel can bring comfort to grandparents, it is truly a joy. It is also suitable for busy individuals in the metropolis, perfect for enjoying a large bowl of noodles when dining alone, or when at home, filling the large bowl with all your rice and dishes to savor the satisfaction of a delicious meal in solitude.^_^ 【Craftsmanship】 Hand-applied glaze. Blue-and-white decal printing. ★ This piece is handmade, embracing a relaxed feel and natural variations. Due to high-temperature firing, the final shape may not be perfectly round, and each item will have slight differences in size and form. The white glaze on the piece is hand-dipped, resulting in natural flow patterns and marks. The hand-applied blue-and-white decal printing will exhibit varying shades of color after firing. Occasionally, natural brown iron spots or blue glaze spots may appear. If you have extremely high expectations for color consistency, please refrain from ordering. 【Dimensions】 Medium Rice Bowl: Diameter 15cm, Height 5.5cm, Base 7cm 【Material】 Ceramic clay.
