Set of Five Soba Cups (Soba choko) with Interlinked Circles (Shippō)
Five white ceramic soba cups with black interlocking circle pattern. Two cups on the left and right have a more rounded bowl shape with the lip parallel to the table; they are each about 1.5 times as wide as they are tall. The middle left and middle right cups have a more tapered shape with the lip wider than the base; they are about one-third taller than the rounded cups and flare out to a lip that is nearly as wide as the rounded cups. The fifth piece in the center is the base of one of the tapered cups showing a small circular foot in the center; the base is flat with a slight lip. The background is dark gray with light shadows around the pieces.
