The set is made by [Nendo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nendo-andon-table) and looks to exemplify the point when somebody takes the cover off of the iconic lacquerware soup bowl. Many people don't know what a lacquerware soup bowl is but it is often associated with the "rice bowl" that many people know of. The entire Lacquerware lid collection uses these bowls as inspiration and makes a [bowl, lid and vase](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/torre-vases) out of the singular design. The lids come in all shapes and sizes with many of them being elongated and some being extra wide. They come in a white ceramic look, a wooden look or even a black ceramic look if the user is more partial to the dark and smooth tone of it.
