    Hi,
    What would these be used for? Only ones I saw online called them satsuma bowls and the link to the page is no good

    I think they have some decent age to them but don’t expect they are antique. Only thing I can think of is for individual salt but that doesn’t seem right.

    Approx 1” across

    Thank you for any help

    I'd think some sort of dipping sauce.

    Individual bowls for soy sauce, ponzu, and the like. Very cute.:)

    Agree, dipping bowls.
    The style and painting plus the mark makes me lean towards Satsuma for the maker. I didn't see Hideyama on the G site. Beautiful set, I would have snapped them up too.
