✨Thank you for viewing! (*^^*) ◆ This is a soba choko (small bowl for soba noodles) from the late Edo period, with a janome (bullseye) foot. It features a design of three rice ears and a sickle, and I believe it's a very fine piece. ◆ The black residue is from the Edo period (see photo 6). ◆ As it is a very old item, there are some minor scratches and wear, which is unavoidable. ◆ I think it would be delicious to drink coffee or tea, or eat yogurt from this bowl♪ ◆ It would also be nice to display and admire♪ ◆ There are no chips or cracks. ◆ Please understand that I am a private seller, so there may be oversights. ◆ Size: Height: Approximately 6.5cm Diameter: Approximately 8cm Sizes are approximate. ◆ Please note that the color may differ slightly between the photos and the actual item. ◆ Please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for perfection or are overly sensitive. ◆ There are no smokers or pets. ◆ Please consider purchasing if you understand that this is a used item and has been stored at home. ◆ Recycled materials will be used for packaging.
