This is a Tenmoku ceramic vase. It was made in Malaysia by a local potter and is a handmade item. It is unused and has been stored in a closet in its original box. The box is dirty, but not damaged. The vase itself appears to be free of scratches and cracks, but there may be minor imperfections typical of handmade items. This is based on my personal assessment, so please refer to the photos for confirmation. I can provide additional photos if you have any concerns. Please consider the above before making a purchase.
