Japanese antique set of 3 small sake cup old KARATSU kintusgi silver repair "sakazuki" "guinomi" For gift 1700s H1.2×2.2in/H3×5.5cm.

This is a set of 3 sake cups.
It is called as "猪口 ochoko" or "ぐい呑 guinomi".

This pottery is called old karatsu. Karatsu ware refers to ceramics produced in Hizen Province (present-day Saga and Nagasaki prefectures) from the early modern period in the 1580s. Karatsu ware tea bowls were highly valued in the tea ceremony world from the Momoyama period to the early Edo period. They are collectors' items with many fans even today.
This example was made around the late of the Edo period.
Chips and other defects from aging have been repaired by repairing with silver. That gives it a cool atmosphere.
This is a small cup for drinking sake.
The three-piece set comes in a wooden box, making it a great gift.
