Mark:  I hope it's clear in the photo.  If not I can add another photo if requested. Circa:  approx. 1860 Condition:  This is a lovely piece with only one flaw:  an underside rim chip about 3mm x 3mm (see around 7:00 o'clock in the photos of the back).  There is some roughness to the edge of the underside of the rim in other areas.  I do not know if these are acquired or original. Note:  This is one a few pieces remaining from a lot I bought from the Estate of a world traveler and collector many years ago.  I do not claim expertise in antique Japanese ceramics.  So rather than toss out phraseology that I really have no thorough understanding of, I am letting the piece speak for itself.  I will, of course, be glad to answer any questions to the best of my ability.  This item be shipped by USPS Priority Mail with Delivery Confirmation, well protected in a padded box (probably double boxed).  The total charge for S & H to a US address will be based on your zip code and the the packed weight (unpacked weight is 1 pound, 3.7 ounces) to which is added $1.25 for Delivery Confirmation and shipping materials.  International buyers MUST not pay until they have been in contact with me and obtained the correct amount for S & H to their country.
