Thank you for viewing. I am selling a cherished antique bowl to organize my collection. This is a warm, Imban (ink-printed) dyed bowl made from the Meiji to Taisho periods. 【Product Features】 華やかな意匠: The inside features a large **"butterfly"** with spread wings boldly depicted, surrounded by auspicious patterns such as "turtle," a symbol of longevity, and pine, bamboo, and plum blossoms. 外側の意匠: The outside features a calm, brushstroke-style grapevine pattern, creating a beautiful contrast with the inside. 時代を感じる風合い: You can see slight misalignments unique to Imban printing, as well as "furimono (black dots)" and "kutsuki (adhesion)" characteristic of the handwork of the time, giving it a deep, antique flavor. 【Size】 Diameter: Approximately 17cm Height: Approximately 6cm (This size is convenient for serving simmered dishes or as a donburi bowl) 【Condition】 As this item has been through many years, there are some scratches due to aging, and small chips (manufacturing marks) on the base, which are believed to have occurred during the manufacturing process at the time. There are no major cracks or later-added breaks, but I would be happy to sell it to someone who understands old items and can enjoy the antique texture. 【Shipping】 I will carefully pack it with cushioning material to prevent breakage and ship it via Mercari delivery. If you have any questions, please feel free to comment. #Antique #Antique #Koimari #Imban #MeijiRetro #TaishoRoman #Dyed #JapaneseTableware #PeriodPiece #Bowl
