Lacquerware Sake Server, Pitcher, Meiji Period

Please note that shipping dates are undecided as the item is currently at my grandfather's house in a distant location. I will contact you once a date is set. m(__)m

This was found in my grandfather's storehouse.
It was wrapped in a Taisho 15 (1926) newspaper and stored in a wooden box. It is believed to have last been used in Taisho 15.
It has been washed and wiped clean.
I think it would also look stylish used as a pitcher for houseplants.

Approximate dimensions:
Diameter: 14.7 cm, Height: 14 cm
Lid: Diameter approx. 16 cm, Height from bottom approx. 16 cm
Length (from handle to spout): approx. 27 cm

It was stored in a wooden box with a black serving tray. It is likely it was used to hold sake during formal meals like memorial services.
Although it is old, it is in good condition with no peeling. It appears to have been well cared for. There are minor scratches, but no significant damage that stands out.
Please check the photos carefully.
We ask that those who understand that this is a long-term stored item at home please consider purchasing.

It will be shipped in a cardboard box.

I am also selling other serving trays and platters. Please take a look.
