A rare example of early Japanese folk ceramics, this hand-thrown bowl dates to the Edo period (1603–1868). Its surface features expressive folk figures among flowing vines, alongside poetic calligraphy reading 秋春 ("Autumn and Spring") and 遊天 ("Playing in the heavens").
The textured clay body and hand-painted enamel show visible signs of age and craftsmanship. It comes in a wooden storage box, likely original, that has protected it over generations.
Dimensions: 4” Diameter x 2.25”H
Condition: Excellent antique condition. Minor wear consistent with age. Includes wooden storage box.
