A Japanese vintage porcelain soba cup from the late Edo period, Imari ware.
Soft bleeding of the blue underglaze and delicate crackle in the glaze. The thin and lightweight body gives an elegant impression, reflecting the skill of the maker. The finely drawn pine and the bird with its slightly playful expression create a balanced composition. Compact in size, suitable not only for soba dipping sauce, but also for nuts or small drinks.
Size: approx. Φ6 × H8cm
Condition: There is a small hairline crack on the foot ring, but it does not affect its use. Otherwise in good condition. Please enjoy the quiet charm of a piece that has gently aged over time.
