This is an Arita-yaki dish, a small container from Iro-Nabeshima (Ruzan Kiln). This kiln is popular for its hand-painted, vibrant techniques that continue to uphold tradition. It's a very cute container with another water bird inside even when you open the lid. When you open the lid with the bird handle, there's the same bird in the middle, and it's a cute and elegant small dish with plum blossoms. While the kiln cannot be definitively identified, it is believed to be from the Ogasawara Toemon kiln of the Imari Nabeshima Domain Kiln. Size: Diameter: Approximately 11 cm Height: Approximately 3.5 cm *The kiln mark "Ruzan" is written on the back of the dish. This is a small bowl with a cute bird decoration on the lid. It can be used for delicacies, etc. It has beautiful colors, and there are water birds on both the lid and the container, making it very cute. How about using it as a small container, a pickle container, a tsukudani container, or a condiment container? The lid has cute mandarin ducks. The colors and shape of the small birds are very cute, and I think there are various ways to use it as a small container or as tableware. *Because each item is handmade, there are individual differences in shape, size, and color, but please enjoy it as the unique character of the product. ◆Originally, it was a product with a dedicated box, so it will be carefully packed with cushioning materials such as bubble wrap. ◆Since it has never been used, there are no particularly noticeable stains, but it has been stored at home, so please understand that it is a used item. * Although unused, there are some minor scratches and scuffs due to its age.
