This is a discontinued item, and the multi-colored Nishiki is rare. Nishiki Willow is only available in the vintage Double Phoenix, and it is a very old item. There are scratches that are barely visible in the photos. There are also some gold paint flaking, crazing, and small, indented spots that occurred during manufacturing. There is no damage that would hinder use, and it can be used practically. It has beautiful colors and intricate patterns, but when compared one by one, the shades of color, the thickness and shape of the lines are subtly different, suggesting that it is not a transfer but rather a high-value hard porcelain that was carefully finished by a painter one by one. As it is old pottery made in the Showa era, there are crazing, black spots that adhere during firing in the kiln, marks on the bottom, and peeling in the vermilion parts, but this is also considered to be the charm of antique pottery. #Tableware #Pottery #MiscellaneousGoods #Antique #Discontinued #ShowaRetro #Vintage #Vintage #Brocan #Modern #Showa #OldTools #OldFurniture #NIKKO #nikko #Cafe #caffe
