A small, vintage sake cup from an old storehouse. This cup is designed to be finished once sake is poured, as it has no foot. The interior features freehand iron-painted designs that resemble characters, but are illegible. The exterior has a dark-toned glaze, and the rim shows pooling of the glaze, creating a scene from the firing process that gives the entire vessel a calm atmosphere. There is a potter's mark in the center of the foot, but it is unknown and unreadable, so it is treated as unmarked. This is a rustic piece made by a local folk kiln, and is thought to be from the late Edo to early Meiji period. It is an antique suitable for both practical use and appreciation. 【Condition】 There are no chips or cracks, and it is in good condition for an antique. There are changes in the glaze and firing unevenness due to aging, but there is no damage that would interfere with use. 【Material, Dimensions, Color, etc.】 Material: Pottery Diameter: Approximately 7cm Height: Approximately 4cm Color: White glaze/iron painting, exterior black glaze Accessories: None This is a small vintage Japanese sake cup found in an old storehouse.
