AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The incense box is round in shape, with the lid decorated with lotus petal and spiral patterns. The glaze is mainly brownish-green with rich layers and natural flow. Each piece is unique, a natural mark of hand-fired kiln firing. The lid knob is small and round, and the interior is glazed white, with a clean interior. The overall craftsmanship is neat and orderly, making it a storage container for incense used in tea ceremonies at that time.
