Thank you for viewing. This is a teacup I purchased at an antique market. The design on the body features turnips and small bowls, making it a unique piece that I brought home. The rim has a connecting yoraku (a type of decorative chain). The inside features pine, bamboo, and plum. There is a chip on the foot. There is a crack inside the foot, which I believe is a kiln mark. Otherwise, there appear to be no other noticeable large scratches or chips. Please check the images carefully. Size: Width: 12 cm Height: 5.5 cm Turnips (kabu) have been cherished in Japan as a symbol of good luck since ancient times. Especially among samurai, they were considered a symbol of success and leadership, as they are associated with the word "head" (kabu). Also, they are connected to the phrase "kabu ga agaru" (stock rises), implying that one's reputation improves and one's luck increases. The small mallet (kozuchi) is known as the "Uchide no Kozuchi" (magic mallet) as a symbol of good luck, and it is believed to grant wishes and bring wealth and good fortune when swung. It is particularly famous for being held by Daikokuten (god of wealth), and is believed to bring blessings for business prosperity and increased fortune.
