That's because the founder of Meito China, Kotaro Asuki, was a previous employee of Noritake and assumed many of the techniques and artistic proclivities with which he had become familiar during his time at Noritake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade in Japan in the 1930s, this set of vintage porcelain berry bowls features all the hallmarks of beautifully patterned dishware that made Meito China synonymous with gorgeous design. Featuring a pale Tiffany blue stripe, hand-painted floral swags, mustard-shaded dots, and lacy grey stripes, this set of six is enhanced with the two-tone color palette of pale yellow and bright white that was very popular during the 1930s. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA pastel wonderland of vibrant and softly shaded hues, elegant and dainty, this berry bowl size is the most accommodating helper in the kitchen. Great for food prep, snack time, table service and party passing, a berry bowl is the most practical assistant in the kitchen.  Fill it with the required spices needed for a recipe during prep time, serve nuts or olives or dried fruit during cocktail hour, fill it high with ice cream or yogurt, berries or fresh fruit during meal time, or create separate help-yourself garnish bowls for the buffet table. Little bowls contain a lot of possibilities. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMore pieces in this pretty pattern are available in the shop.
