This is an antique. I was looking for a straw-handled incense burner and this is the item I came across. I used it with ash. I am selling it because I have moved away from the tea ceremony. There is no box. The design of the straw handle is fresh. I do not know the kiln or origin. I acquired it based on my preference and image. This is, after all, a used item. Please understand that all aging is part of the "flavor" and make your judgment based on the images provided.
