This is an old item, stored at home. It was displayed in a tea cabinet, so there is no box. It is likely Kyo-yaki (Kyoto-style pottery) as it is inscribed with "Sho-sen." It is a round matcha tea bowl made of ceramic with a beautiful black and brown gradation. I don't see any scratches, stains, or chips on the item, but it is old, so please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive or seeking perfection. Made by Sho-sen, Kyo-yaki - Color: Black and brown gradation - Shape: Round - Material: Ceramic - Dimensions: Diameter 12.1cm, Height 6.7cm *Please forgive any slight errors as these measurements are approximate. Thank you for viewing.
