A tall ceramic bowl with a blue floral pattern, in a Japanese style. A "basho-hai" (horse-riding cup), horse. It is pottery. I inherited it from my grandmother, so I think it's from before the Showa era. Era: Late Edo to Bakumatsu period (uncertain) Classic shapes are always beautiful. The size is versatile for anything you put in it. Because it's a bit tall, serving simple dishes in it will instantly brighten up your dining table (^.^) [Handling Precautions] Cannot be used in ovens, microwaves, or dishwashers. It is susceptible to sudden temperature changes and may cause injury or breakage, so please avoid using it as tableware directly over a flame. When washing, please use a mild detergent and sponge. Melamine sponges may scratch the surface. I will send it carefully wrapped in bubble wrap, but as it is an old item, there seem to be some scratches from when it was fired. It appears to be handmade. - Design: Hand-painted blue floral pattern - Material: Ceramic - Shape: Tall-legged bowl - Use: Dish for desserts or fruits - Style: Traditional Japanese design - Condition: No noticeable scratches or chips Thank you for looking.
