Gorgeous example of a handpainted Nippon peanut bowl. This early 1900's Japanese porcelain bowl is in the shape of a peanut and the outside in painted to look a such, including a bisque-type finish. The inside features a leafy peanut plant with green leaves and new growth tendrils and several peanuts suspended ready for harvest. There are three round ball feet on the bottom. The only condition issues I have found is tape residue on the bottom - I will leave it for the buyer to carefully remove. There is also a paint smudge on one end of the inside bowl that matches the thin line around the top. Marked Handpainted Nippon on the bottom.
