old repaired Japanese or Chinese porcelain bowl Imari pattern ko sometsuke vintage blue and white china

Beautiful old ko sometsuke bowl without makers marks - I don't know if this is antique, or only vintage. I also am not sure if this is Chinese porcelain made for the Japanese market, or actually made in Japan (Arita ware). It's just not something I see very much of here in Wisconsin.

It's chipped, and has been carefully repaired all throughout the bowl. Likely this one has some age to it. I've taken a ton of photos here so you can see the china texture and patterning from every angle.

It's about 6" in diameter, with traditional designs in blue. Mountain, bamboo, flowering branches or trees at the center, flying birds or phoenix in motifs around the bowl. Lots of deep blue color, this was a good piece of porcelain.
