I used this item once and have since stored it in a cupboard. The rounded shape and gold rim are lovely, reminiscent of antique Parisian tableware. The crescent moon mark on the back is also subtly cute. It's Hasami-yaki porcelain, and you can feel the warmth of human touch in the gold rim and the way the glaze is applied, with some imperfections. It seems production has been discontinued, so perhaps someone looking for this item would be interested.
