Small Lobbed Imari Bowl with Pie Crust Rim

Description

A small Imari bowl with lobbed and pie crust rim. Stoutly potted. Fine porcelain. High foot. Some damage. It is unclear if this is Chinese or Japanese. This is a rare shape and another has not been noted. We lean more towards Japanese, late 18th century due to the heavier, less delicate build. Age could be earlier as well.
