This is a small Japanese-style bowl with a footed base. It's mainly suitable for serving side dishes, vinegared dishes, desserts, and the like. It has a footed base, called "kodai" in Japanese, which adds a three-dimensional effect to the table setting. The design features red and light blue (or green) lines on white porcelain. There are lines that look like cracks. There is no unevenness when touched. This dish was purchased second-hand by my grandfather at an antique market. I looked it up and found the information in the title. I am listing it to organize my belongings. I look forward to your purchase if you understand that this is a long-term stored, used item.
