Mino-yaki (Mino ware) substitute tea bowl, named "Shio-sai" (Tidal Waves), an antique item for sale. The original use and details are unknown, but it is probably a miscellaneous item for everyday use. Perhaps a certain tea master likened the blue dye inside the bowl to a whirlpool, named it "Shio-sai," and had a vermilion lacquered lid and a paulownia wood box made to create a stylish substitute tea bowl? Size: Diameter 7.5 cm, Height 4 cm Included: Paulownia wood box (made later??) Note: It has been carefully stored, and aside from what is described in the item description, there are no obvious noticeable scratches. However, there may be inconspicuous scratches, natural fading, or dents due to aging and storage that may have been overlooked. Please understand this and consider it. I will upload as many photos as possible, so please make your judgment based on the photos. Basically, this is a used antique item, so please forgive any claims due to minor scratches, scuffs, or stains, except for major defects that would hinder its use. Also, the accompanying items such as the outer box and the explanatory notes may have stains, writing, or discoloration, but I will not specifically mention them, so please be aware of this. In case of any discrepancies between the photos and the description, please prioritize the photos and make your own judgment and assessment. (YM5122503)
