Late Meiji to Taisho era Old Imari Small Bowl Features spring flowers, but the design is timeless and can be used throughout the year. Perfect for serving simmered dishes, "ohitashi" (blanched vegetables), condiments, desserts, or fruits! It will be a great addition to your everyday dining table. As it is hand-painted, there are individual differences in the painting and shading. The size also varies slightly. There is a small chip in one place. (Please check the images) This is a very old item. I have tried to include images of any noticeable flaws, but there may be some that I have missed. Thank you for your understanding, and please consider purchasing. My family loves old tableware and has collected them from antique shops, inherited them through generations, and purchased them locally. I am gradually letting them go to declutter. Please feel free to take a look at my other items as well. If you purchase multiple items, I can offer a discount on combined shipping.
