Taste: Antique/Classic, Japanese Modern, Japanese Style Category: Vase Shape: Round Main Material: Ceramic This is a Bizen-yaki vase. I received it about 35 years ago as a wedding gift from a friend in Okayama. I took it out of the box and kept it on a bookshelf. I have never used it, but when I was cleaning the bookshelf, something bumped into it and chipped the mouth. (See photo 3) There is no box.
