Thank you for viewing. The description text is automatically generated by AI. Please use the images to judge authenticity for yourself as a reference. This is a soba choko (small bowl for soba noodles) believed to have been made in the late Edo period. Each one is handmade, so there are distortions and slight differences in size, giving it a sense of history. Because old craftsmen dyed each one individually, the paintings also have slight differences, making it a masterpiece that allows you to enjoy the handmade feel. As it is an old vessel, there may be what appear to be chips or fine kiln scratches, but this is also due to its age, so please purchase only if you are satisfied. 1. This beautiful set is a collection of soba choko that reflects the traditional Ko-Imari style of the Edo period. Characterized by blue and white colors, they are decorated with elaborate sometsuke (blue and white underglaze) designs. These cups, depicting landscapes and houses, are not only visually appealing but also practical. Five cups are neatly arranged on a tray, adding a touch of elegance to the dining table. When enjoying soba or other dishes, these cups enhance the special dining experience with their beauty and functionality. This set, which allows you to feel the beauty of old Japan, is also perfect as a gift or for collection. Old pottery may have distortions, manufacturing scratches (kiln scratches), and underfired areas (crazing). These are inherent characteristics, so they are not specifically mentioned in the product description. Please check the product condition carefully in the images before purchasing.
