Re: Very small Chinese bowl.

Could be used for wine or astringent tea, which is usually taken in small doses. The shape resembles some Japanese cups I've seen, but the decoration of tree shrews amidst grapes is a classic Chinese theme, not that the Japanese don't borrow such icons. Let's see what the Japanese experts say and then regroup.

Best regards,

Bill H.
