This is a tea caddy made by the first generation of Touko Konishi, a Bizen ware kiln owner (with a matching lid). Through long hours of firing, the ash of red pine that fell on it melts, creating a natural glaze and adding to its charm. It is an item that is easy to match with a wabi-cha tea ceremony.
A Bizen ware Daikoku-sama shaped incense container will be included as a free gift.
There are no cracks, chips, or other damage, but as it is an old item, we are looking for those who can understand this.
Comes with a matching box and a shifuku (protective silk pouch).
Product size:
Height 5.8cm, Width (max) 6.7cm,
Diameter (inner) 3.3cm, Foot diameter 2.6cm approximately.
