Material: Ceramic Arita-yaki (Arita ware) by Kihou. This is a gorgeous piece with classic designs of flowing water, chrysanthemums, irises, and bamboo grass, painted with gold accents. Unused. While there are no noticeable scratches or stains, there is a possibility of very minor scuffs from storage. I inspect the items as carefully as possible, but please understand that this is a personal inspection before purchasing. I will pack it carefully to prevent breakage. I also have Noritake and Tachikichi products for sale, so please take a look. Feel free to ask any questions in the comments section.
