Description
The vase is matte, un-glazed, seemingly unpainted except for a small bit of painting on the embossed flowers.
Frankly, I think it's ugly, but I've learned that ugly doesn't necessarily indicate worth.
A small piece of the rim had broken and evidently glued back on by my aunt.
I've never seen anything like it; it seems odd and untypical of things I've seen made in Japan.
