This is a pedestal plate from Moriyama Kiln. Diameter: Approximately 24.5 cm Height: Approximately 8.5 cm I purchased this about 10 years ago when I visited Moriyama Kiln. There are four kiln marks on the foot of the plate, but Mr. Moriyama repaired them, and I was assured that there would be no problem with use. Please understand this before purchasing.
