It's perfectly round, about 22 centimeters in diameter. It might sound small when you hear it, but it's actually quite a large vase when it's round. It's about the size of a bowling ball. I have more Bizen ware now, so please someone display this. It looks good even without anything in it. It seems brighter in the picture. It's a more dark, subdued brown. It's quite heavy, so be careful not to drop it on your feet or the floor. No cracks or chips. Price is not negotiable.
