This is a great sugar bowl. It was made in Japan as the gold stamp on the base reads. It features a scrolling pattern of a grapevine.The lid has some leaf and vine decorations on it too.It features a beautiful bunch of deep purple gilded grapes with surrounding green and gilded leaves. I think that the piece is from the post-war period although I cannot be certain. The piece stands 11.5cm(4.5")high and the base has a diameter of 5.5cm(2.1"). The width which includes the handles is 14cm(5.5). A great item to own and use.Thanks for looking and happy bidding.
