This is a lidded object I purchased at an antique market. I was drawn to the delicate sometsuke (blue and white) octopus arabesque design and brought it home. The large octopus arabesque is quite impressive. The inside features pine, bamboo, and plum (sho-chiku-bai). The rim pattern is a standard shihou-tasuki (four-direction sash) design. The inscription reads "Fuki Choshun" (Wealth, Honor, and Longevity). It's a popular item. There is a repair and a chip on the rim. Otherwise, it appears to have kiln marks. Please check the images carefully. Size: Approximately 12 cm wide Approximately 7.5 cm high
