Vintage 2004 - 2006 "Yacht Race" serving pieces in a super fun nautical ship and sail boat pattern by Studio Nova from Mikasa. This listing is for a large shallow bowl with a matched companion small bowl designed for chips or crudite and dip. We'd suggest using it for serving shrimp and seafood cocktail sauce! Wonderful piece for Summer entertaining and outdoor dining. See other listings from this shop, "Home Lab", for more pieces in this coastal inspired pattern.

The mix of sailboats, steamers, tugboats, a ship's anchor, life preservers, and pennant signal flags evokes life on the waterfront, the beach, or river. We love how the hand-painted pattern is rendered in a naive folk art style that reflects a fun, casual feeling. Pattern is painted inside and outside the piece. Colors include red, golden yellow, aqua and navy blue, lime green, and touches of aubergine purple and gray on a soft creamy white ground. Both pieces are in excellent condition, appear as if rarely used, with the exception of a small rim glaze chip on each piece--see photo. The small sauce dip bowl also shows some fine crazing on close inspection.

Large bowl measures 14.25" diameter, small bowl measures 5.25" diameter.
