This is a mizusashi (water container) used in the tea ceremony, belonging to my grandmother. I do not have any knowledge of the tea ceremony, so please understand that I cannot provide detailed information. The side of the box reads: Shigaraki Mizusashi Eizan Zo (Made by Eizan) The bottom of the chawan (tea bowl) has: Eizan Saku (Made by Eizan) and a stamp. This is Shigaraki ware, a work by Okuda Eizan. It came with a black paper description. It is wrapped in a pale yellow cloth, which has a stamp and some stains. The mizusashi itself shows signs of use. The box and the string tying the box show signs of aging. This is a used item. Please only purchase if you understand that it has been stored at home. Mizusashi Size: Diameter: Approximately 20cm Height: Approximately 19cm Box Size: Approximately 21.7cm square Height: Approximately 23.7cm I will wrap it in bubble wrap to prevent breakage and pack it carefully for shipping. I hope to have a pleasant transaction, so thank you for your understanding.
