This is almost exactly the same size and style as EO30-27, and designed with the same mandarin orange tree. The inscription "Tenkaichi ("First under Heaven") Wakasa" is in the same style of writing. Therefore, they no doubt come from the same foundry. The spatula's touch is the same, but the tree itself is drawn relatively freely in its details except for the shape of the trunk, which is the same. The casting of this one is far sharper, which in turn leads us to think that EO30-27 could possibly be a replica casting of a mirror of the same design.
