Zoni bowl, flat-grain black and vermilion lacquering

This is a tall bowl for “zoni” (New Year’s broth) painted in vermillion lacquer, containing ripple-like streaks on the inside. Because of its large size, it can be used for a variety of foods, including zoni, simmered dishes, or assortments. It features an auspicious pattern, showing a crane in the front and a pine tree in the back.
