Lidded Imari rice bowl with shrine decoration (Edo)

Very rare and beautiful lidded rice bowl from the mid-Edo period (around 1750).

On the outside it is decorated with a tree which extends from the bowl to the lid. The inside shows details of a festively decorated Japanese shrine. Both bowl and lid show a spurious "Dai Ming" mark in underglaze blue.

Diameter 12 cm, height 8.5 cm, perfect state, very little rubbing on the gold
