Sake cup with arabesque, Early Imari ware
This sake cup has dignified proportions, with a small base that extends slightly to the bottom, leading to a rim that curves backward at the edges.
The body is painted with a simplified arabesque design in a familiar touch.
As can be seen, the painting was done by a skilled potter.
The slightly matte white porcelain has a subdued, modest, and rustic impression.
It is a sake cup that you would want to use every day.
It is not flashy, but it is of very good taste.
The shape is comfortable in the hand and feels good.
There is one small chip on the rim.
