Subject:Tiny Bowl
Posted By: Julia Tompsett Mon, Sep 23, 2019 IP: 2a00:23c5:8e1f:7e00:

I’ve had this tiny bowl for a number of years and wondered if anyone could tell me anything about it.

A Japanese wine cup (sakezuki) made by Kutani. The symbol in the centre of the bowl is a stylised 'longlife' symbol.

With all respect to Mikeoz: This is Kutani ware, not made by Kutani, but in Kutani.
There are thousands of this small sake(?) cups with this Kutani 九谷 mark and all kind of decorations on the inside.
I own a few of these cups, all signed Kutani as well.
Regards,
Martin.
