I washed it and put it in the cupboard, but it's unused. Size: 12.5cm in diameter, 7cm in height. The color is black, but it's a black that leans towards dark brown. It's a modern rice bowl. Perhaps because of the dark color, there are some small spots that look like scratches or stains, but they were there from the beginning. Please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned about these details. I'm selling it at a low price(^^) There is no original box. I will wrap it in packing material for dishes and ship it. *I'm decluttering my dish cupboard, and I'm selling other items as well(^^) *About the kiln (refer to the ceramic retailer's website) The Seto Sometsuke works of the former Asahi Kiln are currently produced at the Tsubaki Kiln, a sibling kiln.
