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.
