These cups are traditionally called Soba Choko and were used to serve a broth for dipping buckwheat soba noodles into before slurping up! 

They can of course still be used for noodles, but we find they are perfect for tea and sake.  

They are quite old, dating to the late Edo, early Meiji period. Late 19th Century. 
 
I found these at a market in Osaka and absolutely fell in love with the hand painted lines. 

We have four in stock. 

Vintage dishes are sold as is, these are hand made items, there will be the occasional variations in form, tone and colour.
We ensure they are in good condition with no chips or cracks and of good useable quality. 


Measures 7.5cm across x 6cm tall.
