Seika Meihan Tea Bowls, Set of 6 Asagiri-yaki A type of Akashi-yaki pottery from Akashi, Harima Province (Hyogo Prefecture). It is said to have originated in the Genna and Kanei eras (1615) when Oribe-no-suke Toda fired them. This set is believed to be the work of the ninth-generation Seitaro Shurei (died 1942). The Asagiri mark appears to be on the bottom of the tea bowls. Size: Approximately 6.8cm in diameter x 3.8cm in height Each dragon's face has its own unique character due to being hand-painted. These items came from an old house built 150 years ago. Although the extent of their use is unknown, they are used items. The wooden box has noticeable stains and dirt. One of the wooden pieces on the back of the lid, used to secure it, is missing. #SenchaTools #Teacups #TeaCeramics #TeaUtensils #Antique #Antiques
