Direct from the kiln, brand new, unused. Iga-yaki Kiln #Akinoseitosho Established in 1935 Maruhashira 434, Iga City, Mie Prefecture Size: Diameter 26.0cm, Height 8.9cm Outlet item! This pot has a gap at the base of the ear. This is the only reason it's an outlet item. There are no issues with its strength, and it will not come off during normal use, so please rest assured. The lid is not a problem. Please purchase if you understand. There are absolutely no problems with its use. We have been manufacturing and selling Iga-yaki products to various companies. We have decided to list on Mercari because we want to deliver our products to individual customers. We have many other products available, so please take a look. We have stock, but it is limited. The pot itself is safe for direct fire and can be used as is. (No seasoning required) Not compatible with IH. No price negotiations, please! How to increase added value: Do what cannot be done with mass-produced products. In the case of pots, process the surface of the body and lid (scrape with a metal plane). Attach handles (ears) to the scraped body. The price is affected by the difficulty of the handle shape. This is the value based on the clay (raw material) and shape. Next is the value based on the glaze (color, difficulty of color development and price). Finally, how it is fired (oxidation, reduction, carbonization, etc.). The added value changes significantly depending on the combination of these three elements. #IgaYaki #ClayPot #Akinoseitosho
