Please be sure to check my profile as well. This is a slightly larger Tamgroute vase. While plates and cups are common, it's quite rare to find pots like this in Japan. The unevenness of the glaze, unique to Tamgroute, is also wonderful. As with all Tamgroute products, I think it's better to display them as interior decor rather than actually use them. The roughness of the make and the unevenness of the glaze are characteristic features. Please only purchase if you understand Tamgroute products. This isn't something you can easily find, so it's recommended for those looking for something rare. I'm hesitant to part with it, so I may remove the listing if there are no purchases.
