This is undoubtedly an old item. It's a suzuri stone (inkstone) from the Taisho or Showa era. I believe it was used with a small brush. It has a design of plum blossoms. I'm not sure if the top part is chipped or part of the design. Please check the photos. I am selling it as is. Size: W6.7cm x D16.2cm x H1.6cm
