Tea Utensils: Tea Caddy Type: Oribe Description: Ear-handled tea caddy Size: Diameter: Approximately 7.0 cm (widest) Height: Approximately 9.0 cm (without lid) Artist: Johtetsu Yamaguchi (2nd generation) Shifuku (protective pouch): Famous fabric, Karakuryu (Tang Corner Dragon) Box: Comes with a matching box Shiori (explanatory note): Included I love Oribe ware, and I enjoy collecting not only tea utensils but also everyday tableware. However, I've accumulated a bit too much. I'm selling this to slim down my collection. Condition: There appear to be no noticeable scratches or stains, but it is an old item, so there is some aging. There is some dirt and damage to the gold leaf on the lid. The shifuku shows signs of use on the lining, but the fabric and tailoring appear to be of high quality. Also, please understand that it has been stored at home, so there may be some imperfections in the management. Please consider the above points before making a purchase.
