This is an Imari-yaki soba choko (small bowl for soba noodles) made in the Edo period. It has a snake-eye foot and is decorated with a landscape painting reminiscent of Chinese paintings. The shades of the gos (blue pigment) are well utilized, and the pattern on the rim is also carefully drawn. #kotosya Imari Soba Choko Collection ◆Size ∅8.0cm x Height 6.5cm ◆Damage, Condition As this is an antique item, there is a crack in the unglazed base on the underside (it doesn't go through to the inside) and some frit on the inside, but we hope you will appreciate it as part of its character. There are no other noticeable scratches or chips that would cause problems with use.
