This is an extremely rare, unused Kiridate No. 8. These items are very difficult to find. There is a reason for the price, but the No. 8 pot comes with a No. 10 lid. Please confirm. [There are cracks in the painted color, but it does not affect use. [Photos available]] This is a No. 8 pickle container from Hisamatsu Kiln. It has been stored at home for a long time. Please check the photos for minor scratches during storage. Hisamatsu Kiln, the manufacturer, went out of business in 2013. It is now a rare item. The original box is not included, so it will be carefully wrapped in bubble wrap and shipped in a cardboard box. --- Material: Pottery Type: Pickle barrel Color: Brown Diameter: Approx. 32cm Height: Approx. 32cm Capacity: 14.4L --- Hisamatsu's ceramic pickle barrels have strong firing and glaze, and do not develop crazing. If crazing occurs, moisture and salt will seep out. These are different from similar foreign-made products with the same shape and color. Hisamatsu products can be identified by the stamp on the bottom. I have included a photo of the bottom, although it is difficult to see. Since Hisamatsu went out of business in 2013, it has become difficult to obtain new ones. Please take this opportunity to purchase it.
