Cup 1830 - 1850

This small ceramic cup, created by the Japanese artist Kenya between 1830 and 1850, is a fine example of Japanese pottery. The black body of the cup is decorated with a band of white circles, each with a small black circle at its center, forming a flowing pattern. The piece is a testament to the artist's skill and the beauty of Japanese art. The cup, measuring 2 3/4 inches in height, is now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City.
