This is a Masakiyaki doll. Masakiyaki, known for its excellent raku-ware tea ceremony utensils, rarely produced dolls. Due to their rarity, this piece is a cultural artifact of high value, with a strong possibility of being accepted for museum exhibition. It dates back to the Kansei era (around 1789-1801), making it an antique of considerable age. As an old ceramic figurine, it shows overall wear and minor chips, but there are no signs of cracks that have been repaired.
