RARE!! Antique Japanese Sumida Gawa 5 piece bowl dish set mudmen pearl divers

Description

Here's an incredibly unique 5 piece set of antique Sumida Gawa pottery. I believe the figures are pearl divers. Likely made during the Meiji period of the 2nd half of the 19th century.
All pieces are intact with NO physical damage: no chips, cracks or repairs.  There is some loss of the reddish orange paint, as it appears to have been applied onto bare clay after the pieces were fired with the figure details and the edges, interiors,  etc. But still, there's only a couple areas of red loss, mostly on the back sides of the 3 taller pieces.
The bottom tray measures 6 5/8" wide and 5 3/8" across.  The largest "cup" measures 2 5_8" x 2 1/8" and is 2 5/8" in height.  The other 2 "cups" are smaller and the green pond piece is 7/8" in height.
I included a couple facial photos of these adorable men! Incredible detail throughout.
Please message me if you need more details,  but I think the photos pretty much tell it all.
