This is a sometsuke (blue and white) bowl. Please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for perfection or are overly concerned about minor details, as there are signs of repair on the rim, fine scratches inside and out due to age, and kiln marks on the foot. We appreciate your understanding if you are familiar with older items. Please consider the condition of the damage by viewing photos 8-17. I believe this is a dish that can be used without hesitation for everyday cooking. How about using it as a daily necessity? The era is believed to be the Meiji period. The origin is unknown, but it is thought to be either Imari or Seto.
