The box says "Akashino Confectionery Container." I received this from an acquaintance, and I haven't used it myself, so I don't know anything about its history before that. It's made of ceramic, is durable, and can be used for a long time. It's not only functional as a tea ceremony utensil but also has a design that looks great as interior decor. - Color: White and red speckles - Material: Ceramic - Shape: Round - Bottom: Flat - Accessories: Wooden box Diameter: 19.5 cm Height: 10.9 cm It's thick (9 mm) and feels substantial. It has been stored at home. For those who understand that this is a used item, thank you in advance.
