 This rather large vessel was probably made as a sake cup used for guinomi (sake cup). It has a zanguri-shape with a hem overhanging the body, and a deep iris-like pattern is painted on two sides of the body. The base is low, and the inside of the base is shallowly and interestingly carved. The glaze is well melted, giving it the appearance of Kizeto, which is used for sake cups. It may have been made by the Ichinose Koraishin Kiln.
