AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A superb Kasama-yaki incense container crafted by the rising ceramic artist Motoyoshi Toneda.
This piece is masterfully shaped as a realistic mikan (Japanese mandarin), showcasing remarkable attention to detail—from the natural uneven texture of the fruit’s skin to the finely sculpted stem and small leaf.

The artist’s refined craftsmanship captures the quiet elegance and warmth of traditional Japanese ceramic art.
Its lifelike presence and balanced form make it an exceptional item for collectors of contemporary Japanese pottery and tea ceremony utensils.

The piece remains unused, complete with its original wooden tomobako (signed box) and protective cloth, making it an ideal addition to a premium collection or a refined interior display.
