All Hisamatsu products are made in Japan with safety and security in mind. * Uses well-fired Tokoname clay. * Expansion is adjusted with our own blended glaze. * Uniform firing is achieved due to minimal temperature variations in the kiln. * Regularly conducts composition analysis of raw materials and penetration tests on products. * Under the slogan "Hisamatsu proposes food safety," we do not use any substances that could affect the human body. * Hisamatsu products do not use any lead or cadmium, so you can safely use them for food storage and processing. This is a valuable, hard-to-find, discontinued Japanese-made jar. It has various uses, such as for pickled plums, miso, and pickles. Tokoname-yaki Hisamatsu Jar with Round Lid Made in Japan Size: 18cm in diameter (Please forgive any errors due to amateur measurements.) The black glaze drips are painted in three places, and each one is different because they are hand-painted. Please note that the dimensions and colors may vary slightly due to the characteristics of the ceramic material. Due to the characteristics of the well-fired raw materials, there may be some pinholes (small holes like those made by a needle on the glazed surface), but please understand that this does not affect use. The white areas in the photos are reflections due to the way they were taken. * Will be sold to those who understand that this is a used item. Please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned about minor details. * Regarding the condition of the product, I am an amateur, so there may be oversights. Please understand. * There is no accompanying box, so it will be properly packaged and shipped. - Color: Brown - Shape: Round - Material: Ceramic - With Lid: Yes - Decoration: With Pattern Featured Tokoname-yaki Hisamatsu Kiln Jar Round Jar with Lid 18cm in diameter Pickled Plums Pickles Miso Storage Container Showa Era Retro Ceramic Pottery
