Size: Diameter (diagonal) 20.5 cm, Height (with lid) approximately 12.8 cm Design with an auspicious octagonal shape and a dragon motif on the entire surface. A relief carving of a dragon on the center of the lid, the top part. The inscription "Made by Shōu" is on the underside. He was a master craftsman of the Meiji era, and few of his works remain. A beautiful item with no signs of use, from the storage of an old family. The original box seems to be missing, so this is a sale of the item itself only. There are two kiln cracks on the lid. It appears that the cracks have been filled. I believe this was repaired by the artist, please check the photos. (The last four photos, two places from inside and outside) Similar items can be found in old Chinese imports, so I consider this item to be a copy of a Chinese item, what do you think? Type...
