Multi purpose cups can be used for rice, soup, ice-cream, custard, soy sauce, sushi etc.

Likely from around the 1980s.
This is a very old method of decorating plates and other fine dishes in China where rice grains are
inserted into the wet clay prior to firing and then are disintegrated by the high heat of the kiln leaving small
rice-shaped translucent spots behind. They are then glazed in leaving translucent spots in the dish itself resulting in a lovely effect when light shines through them.
Rice porcelain is considered lucky in Chinese culture.
No chips cracks or repairs.
