Features: * The rim has a slightly petal-like wave. * Luxurious overglaze painting with red, blue, and gold (akae kinrande), and the bottom has the inscription "Fūkichōshun." This inscription has been used since ancient times in Chinese ceramics and Japanese Imari ware as an auspicious phrase. Meaning: Fū (富, wealth) = affluent, prosperous Chōshun (長春, long spring) = eternal spring, meaning "May longevity and prosperity continue." Therefore, it is used as a backstamp, not as a maker's mark, but as an **auspicious mark (a word of good omen)**. It is believed to have been used as a "kyūdashi chawan" (small teacup) or "sencha wan" (teacup for sencha). Thank you for viewing.
