Further price reduction! Due to shipping costs, no further price reductions are possible. I thought it might be Arita-yaki (Arita porcelain), but I'm not sure. Please check the photos. This item was at my parents' house. There is no box or anything from when it was purchased. Although it is new and unused, there are small stains and scratches. There are what appear to be paint defects from the beginning on the 7th and 8th photos. Please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to such imperfections.
