Red lacquerware, black interior design, set of 16. Stored in a private home's storage, these items date from the Taisho to early Showa periods. I'm not sure how they were used, but they look like teacups, although I think they might also be used as saucers for chawanmushi (steamed egg custard). - Color: Red - Material: Lacquerware - Shape: Plate - Design: Black interior - Quantity: Set of 16 Outer diameter: 12.5cm, Inner diameter: approx. 6.2cm Outer height: 2.5cm, Inner height: approx. 5mm It seems there were originally 20, but 16 are being offered for sale due to some being broken.
