Bizen ware kiln tool, a ceramic plate. The period is unknown, but it has a nice earthy texture. Upon inspection, there appears to be no damage. Please be aware of the original stone "haze" (surface imperfections) and kiln marks. This plate is used in the kiln when packing works, such as for lids of jars, and then placing other works on top, to efficiently fire a large number of pieces. Size: Width 33cm, Thickness 1.5cm Comes with a paulownia wood box. It would also be great for arranging sushi, sashimi, or appetizers, and with some creativity, it can enhance your dishes. You can use both sides. It looks beautiful when wet. How about it for someone who likes it? I also have other antiques for sale. Thank you for your consideration.
