This item was acquired some time ago at an antique market, and I really liked it. I have kept it carefully as part of my collection, without using it. I'm selling it for less than I bought it for, so I'm sorry, but I'm not considering any further discounts. It's a lovely antique vessel with hand-painted cherry blossoms. It's a "haisen" (a type of small bowl for rinsing sake cups), which is rare nowadays. I think it would be beautiful displayed as is, or used for sweets or flowers. There is a kiln mark in one place, but it's only on the outside, so it doesn't affect use. Maximum diameter: 13.2 cm Height: 10.3 cm Weight: 459g
