This is an Imari-yaki soba choko (small bowl for soba noodles) made in the Edo period. It has a snake-eye foot, a yomoda-suki (diagonal pattern) rim, and a mountain-like design on the inside. The surrounding design depicts distant mountains and banana-like basho (banana trees). This soba choko has a tropical atmosphere. #kotosya Imari Soba Choko Collection ◆Size ∅8.5cm x Height 6.0cm ◆Damage, Condition It appears to have a chip on the mouth (as seen in images 8-10), but the glaze is applied, so it is likely the original shape.
