Thank you for viewing. This is an old Imari soba choko (small bowl for soba noodles) with a checkered pattern. The period is the late Edo period. The indentation on the rim is a kiln mark where the glaze has pooled. There is a chip on the lower part, which occurred when it was removed from the kiln. Please consider it. 7.7 x 5.7cm Old Imari, soba choko, Edo period, sake cup, guinomi (small sake cup), sake vessel, folk art, antique
