Condition: Unused, stored at home. However, there are small indentations on the surface of both the rim and sides, which appear to be porous (small holes characteristic of Tokoname ware). There are also white spots on the foot. The rim has indentations of less than 1mm; it's uncertain whether these are porous or chipped, so please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned.
