This is a Jun ware vase. Artist: Mitsuaki Kato It was stored in the warehouse of my parents' home. I do not have expert knowledge, so I do not know the detailed age or history, but it is a vase with a beautiful, calm glaze color. The vase itself does not appear to have any noticeable cracks or chips (amateur inspection). Due to long-term storage, the accompanying wooden box has stains and spots from storage. It is recommended for use as a flower vase, as well as for interior decoration or collection. Please purchase with your understanding.
