Item specifics
Product Type: Ceramic Trough / Bonsai VaseCondition: Used
Era: 1960sRegion: Japan
Material: CeramicBrand: As marked to base

For auction is a striking vintage ceramic trough or bonsai vase made in Japan around the 60s.    It has two makers' marks to the base - one stamped with KS around what looks like 3 pine trees, the other impressed logo with the numbers 905/2030.  I am not sure what the pottery is but have had similar high quality pieces with the 3 pine logo - it is obviously a very classy brand made for the export market. 

As can be seen from the photos, the sides of the trough are four straight 'slabs' attached to a base; underneath are two 'feet' one of which has the pine logo on it (see photo).  The sides are finished in a sand texture - quite rough and earthy - while the interior is a dark brown gloss glaze with luscious blues & greens in the corners; underneath is black gloss except for the ends of the stands which reveal the white clay underneath. 

Measurements: 29 cm long, 10.5 cm high, 11 cm deep; internal space is 20.5 cm x 10 cm x 7 cm. 

This striking, versatile  and very collectible piece is in excellent condition.  It can be used for bonsai, as a flower trough or simply as a sculptural decoration in its own right. 

Estimated Postage Costs in AUD:

Money Back
I have an excellent record of safe packaging but cannot guarantee what happens after an item leaves my hands at the Post Office.  Refunds are not offered for items which have been damaged in transit so insurance is a safe option. 
Returns are not accepted if a buyer simply changes their mind.
I always describe items very clearly and accurately in words and photos.  Please examine carefully. If there is a discrepancy between the listing and the received goods, returns will be accepted.
The buyer is responsible for return shipping costs.

Refunds by law: In Australia, consumers have a legal right to obtain a refund from a business for goods purchased (but not at auction) if the goods are faulty, not fit for purpose or don't match description. More information at returns.
