Made in Japan, Arita-yaki tea ceremony utensil, a *kensui* (waste water bowl). While it's a tea ceremony utensil, I think you can use it in various ways depending on your ingenuity. Perhaps for Western-style use, like putting hot water in it to warm your cups when you have tea or coffee? (^^) Or, how about enjoying both Japanese and Western styles by picking flowers and wild plants blooming in your garden and arranging them in the hole? Size: Diameter 10.5cm, Height 8.0cm How about it for those who are looking for one? Thank you very much. (^^)
