🎎 Hand-Painted Guinomi Sake Cup β Showa Era β Japan Antique Roadshow
π This hand-painted Japanese guinomi (γγεγΏ) reflects the rustic charm of mid-Showa era folk ceramics (circa 1950sβ1970s). Slightly larger than typical sake cups, this piece may have been intended for winter pours when a bit more warmth was welcome. The exterior features bold indigo geometric designs, with subtle pooling and variation in the glazeβevidence of its handmade nature. The interior is decorated with a simple, playful motif at the center, while natural signs of age such as surface wear, minor scuffs, and possible hairline lines add to its wabi-sabi character. Structurally sound and ready for continued use or display.
