Material: Ceramic Type: Pickling Jar Color: Brown Hisamatsu No. 5 Kirittatsu Pickling Container I think the condition is good. There is little wear around the lip. Diameter: Approximately 27cm Height: Approximately 30cm Capacity: 9L It's also good for making pickled plums and miso. Hisamatsu's ceramic pickling jars are well-fired and glazed, so they don't develop crazing. Crazing allows water and salt to seep out. It is different from similar products with the same shape and color. Hisamatsu products can be identified by the sticker label or the stamp on the bottom. Hisamatsu went out of business in 2013, so it has become difficult to obtain new ones. A pickling recipe created by Hisamatsu Kiln is included. This is not a new, unused item. Please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to imperfections.
