This item is old and its origin is unknown. After some research, I found that it was made by "Takaoka Copperware, Kenjun Zo." The back of the item says "Donated." I believe it was some kind of gift. As the manufacturer cannot be definitively confirmed, please purchase this item with the understanding that this is the case. m(_ _)m I also have other retro items for sale, so please take a look!(*´∀`)♪ I'll offer a discount for combined purchases!!
