This is an Imari-yaki soba choko (small bowl for soba noodles) made in the Edo period. It has a snake-eye foot, a thunder pattern on the rim, and a well-like design on the inside. The surrounding design features a lattice with maple-like leaves. This soba choko showcases the beautiful gradations of the cobalt blue underglaze. #kotosya Imari Soba Choko Collection ◆Size Diameter ∅7.8cm x Height 6.5cm ◆Damage and Condition There is a sticking mark on the rim (images 12-13), and shrinkage of the unglazed base near the foot (images 10-11).
