I am listing this item as I am decluttering my home. This is a deep bowl, believed to be Arita ware. I think it has been used only a few times, but the base area is blackened. Please understand that this is a pre-owned item. I will use recycled materials for packaging. The packaging may not be beautiful, but I will ensure the item is delivered in good condition. Also, please feel free to contact me about combining shipments with other items. I will consider shipping costs! As I am also listing this on other sites, I would appreciate it if you could contact me before purchasing. Please feel free to ask any questions. Thank you!
