This is an Ohi-yaki tea bowl made by Ippei Ohi. It was purchased by my mother, who was a teacher of the Urasenke school of tea ceremony. I believe it is a very beautiful item, with no noticeable scratches or stains. However, this is based on my amateur assessment, so please feel free to request detailed photos if you wish. Please understand that this is a used item that has been stored at home. Thank you for your understanding. m(_ _)m
