Thank you for viewing. This was a gift, and I believe it's Mashiko-yaki pottery. The artist's name was written on it, but I've lost it. It has not been used. I think it would be lovely as decoration, or for serving Japanese sweets. It is unused. It has been stored on a board. ☆Please feel free to ask any questions before purchasing.
