Antique Japanese Porcelain Bowl Set Heron, Egrets, Ibises Bird The condition is, excellent no chip, cracks or crazing. The bowls are 5 1/2" in diameter and can be used for nut, fruit, berry or dessert bowls. These dishes are hand painted, two of them are very close to the same until you put them next to each other, then you can really tell they are hand painted. Wasn't sure of the right bird, so many look so much alike to me. There was probably a master bowl that went with these, or you may have one already, if not have fun hunting one.
