This is a teacup with depictions of figures and landscapes, with a beautiful pale indigo color. There are no major damages, but there are some fine scratches from wear and tear. However, I personally believe they are only visible when held up to the light and closely examined. There are also some uneven areas on the rim, but these feel like they have glaze on them, so they are likely kiln marks from firing. Please check the images. Although there are no noticeable scratches, there are some fine scratches, so please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for perfection or are overly sensitive. Thank you for your understanding of old items. The age is unknown, but it is believed to be from the late Edo to Meiji period. By the way, the painting on the teacup features a landscape that resembles a half-moon slice of bitter melon, which is often seen in Aizu or Kirikomi-yaki. I have included a photo from a catalog for reference, but it is not included with the product. Size: Height approximately 5.9cm, Diameter approximately 8.3cm If you purchase immediately, it will be assumed that you have agreed to the purchase. Please be sure to look at the photos carefully before purchasing to avoid any misunderstandings such as "it's different from what I expected" after purchase. #ClanKiln #KougaTakashi #SerizawaChosuke #MiyagiPrefecture #Tableware #Antique #Antique #Antiques #Gosu (cobalt blue pigment) #Tohoku #Aizuhongo #Koyou #KirikomiYaki #TohokuPottery #Art #DateMasamune #Excavation #Report #Literature #Thesis #Phantom
