FINE JAPANESE LOW BOWL-KOREAN STYLE-EDO

Finely crackled tan glaze with iron oxide underglaze decoration around the rim. The bowl measures 9 1/4" in diameter and is 2 1/8" deep. Excellent condition with only normal signs of wear. I believe this one dates from the early 1800's - late Edo period - but it is possible that it is from the Meiji timeframe.
