From the Showa 50s (1975-1984). Purchased at a shop that handles folk art. It was dormant in the cupboard. It's heavy and plump. The texture is smooth, and the surface has countless dots. Not just a simple black, but the soil is visible behind the dots. Diameter: 17.5cm Height: 9cm Diameter of the foot: 7.5cm This is a flavorful dish that will enhance any cuisine.
