Showa Retro Ceramic Lidded Jar
This is a lidded ceramic pot (kame/mini kame). It features a traditional shironagashi (or ame shironagashi) design, where white glaze is dripped over a brown base.
Key Uses and Features:
* **Storage Container:** Traditionally used for storing umeboshi (pickled plums), miso, nukazuke (rice bran pickles), rakkyo (pickled shallots), and more.
* **Temperature Stability:** Ceramics are resistant to external temperature fluctuations, making them suitable for fermented foods and long-term storage.
* **Odor Resistance:** Compared to glass or plastic, ceramics are less prone to absorbing colors and odors, ensuring hygienic use.
* **Tabletop Display:** It can also be conveniently used as a serving dish directly on the table.
Considering it is over 40 years old, I believe it is in beautiful condition as shown in the images, making it suitable as a decorative piece.
It could also be used as a coin bank or piggy bank.
Diameter at the top (with lid removed): Approximately 10 cm
