VTG 1920-30s Made In Japan Covered RICE BOWL Raised ROSE Motif Earthenware 5.5"

For your consideration is this vintage covered rice bowl made in Japan. The bottom of the bowl has a raised "Made In Japan" mark. The set is very much in style with redware exports produced during the 1920s to 1930s and deduce the set dates to that era, though I have been unsuccessful in locating any advertisements for this line of earthenware. The vibrantly colored pink rose flowers with contrasting green foliage and yellow accent details are raised on both the lid and the handles. The dish measures 7 inches long (Handle to handle) x 5.5 inches wide (bowl diameter) x 2.5 inches in height (with lid). There are several places void the glaze that was missed during production, most notedly is just below the inner lip of the bowl with what appears to be straw marks. On the bottom side it reads "Made In Japan" which is raised stamped. The handle is a lovely formed daisy. The lid is somewhat warped, again most likely a manufacturing defect. It does not sit flat onto the bowl. That being sai
