Arita-yaki, Kazangama kiln Size: Approximately 18.5 x 9 cm This is a refined, timeless suribachi (mortar) with a pattern in indigo blue on white porcelain. It's a convenient size and can be used for serving side dishes or as a bowl for noodles. It has a beautiful luster and is in excellent condition. It was used once to grind sesame seeds, so there is a slight discoloration (last two images). Please consider purchasing if you understand that this item has been stored at home.
