Extremely rare, unused Kiridate 8-inch container. This item rarely appears on the market. There's a slight issue: the 8-inch jar has a 10-inch lid. Please check the photos. There are cracks in the painted color, but it doesn't affect usage. [Photos available] This is an 8-inch pickling container from Hisamatsu Kiln. It has been stored at home for a long time. Please check the photos for any minor scratches from storage. Hisamatsu Kiln, the manufacturer, closed down in 2013, making this a rare item. The original box is not available, so it will be carefully wrapped in bubble wrap and packed in a cardboard box for shipping. --- Material: Ceramic Type: Pickling Jar Color: Brown Diameter: Approximately 32cm Height: Approximately 32cm Capacity: 14.4L --- Hisamatsu's ceramic pickling jars have a sturdy firing and glaze, preventing crazing. Crazing allows water and salt to seep out. This is different from similar foreign-made products with the same shape and color. Hisamatsu products can be identified by the stamp on the bottom. A photo of the bottom is included, although it may be difficult to see. Hisamatsu closed down in 2013, making it difficult to obtain new ones. Please take this opportunity to acquire one.
