Country Casual Hand Painted Stoneware Bowl Green Rim Vintage Japan Dessert Fruit

This Country Casual hand painted stoneware bowl was made in Japan, standing about 6 1/2 inches across with a single hand painted green stripe circling the rim.

The cream glaze carries the fine black speckling typical of 1970s stoneware, making this a good fit for a farmhouse style table or anyone building out a set of Country Casual pieces with real vintage stoneware instead of a reproduction.

Collector's Notes

Hand painted stoneware like this came out of Japan by the truckload in the 1970s, when speckled earthy glazes and casual dinnerware were showing up in kitchens everywhere.

A good fit for anyone building out a set of Country Casual pieces or filling in a farmhouse style table with real vintage stoneware instead of a modern reproduction.

The base carries a clear Country Casual mark, though no pattern name is stamped on this particular piece, so it likely belongs to one of the brand's simpler green banded lines.

A small, honest bowl with the kind of speckled glaze that still looks right at home on a kitchen table.
