This is an Imari-yaki mukouzuke (small serving dish) made in the Edo period. Phoenixes are arranged on the rim, and their tails trailing as they dance down are impressive. Five-petaled flowers are carefully drawn on the inside, adding an elegant touch. It's a moderate size with a slightly flared rim. It fits comfortably in the hand and is a practical vessel that can be used not only as a mukouzuke but also as a teacup or cup. #kotosya Imari Soba Choko Collection ◆Size Diameter ∅8.3cm x Height 5.8cm ◆Scratches, Condition There are no noticeable scratches or chips, but please understand that this is an antique item.
