{"product_id":"antique-japanese-ceramics-274","title":"SENCHA CUP, Ko-Imari, blue-and-white porcelain with japanese rice fish pattern, set of 5, Edo Period（1603–1867CE）","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis set comprises five Ko-Imari sencha cups, fired in the late Edo period and decorated in underglaze blue with a rice‑fish motif on a white porcelain body. The small bowls have slightly everted rims and are formed thin toward the lip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA medaka motif—indicated only by a dot for the head and two flowing lines for the tail—is painted on the body in indigo with subtle variations in tone. The brushwork is light and assured. Medaka, a small fish cherished in Edo-period urban culture, was frequently used on vessels for its sense of refreshment and approachable charm. This piece was likely made to lend a cooling note to the sencha gathering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe glassy white porcelain glaze has a slight grayish tint and shows fine crazing. Age-related staining, iron specks, and glaze irregularities are also evident. The footring is small and trimmed from the body, with firing traces remaining on the base. There are no chips; the overall condition is good. Complete set of five.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ROCANIIRU COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51241072787737,"sku":null,"price":20200.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0688\/9911\/1193\/files\/2025090212103.jpg?v=1756884751","url":"https:\/\/rcnir.com\/en-in\/products\/antique-japanese-ceramics-274","provider":"入蘆花（ロカニイル）","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
