    Description

    First time on market in years! Free Same Day shipping (restrictions apply)
    You are bidding on a Vintage (for sure), (thought to be) antique clam shaped, ceramic, Japanese Blue and White glossy glazed kogo (incense) box/container. Marking on unsigned box states:  "Dai min sei kanen sei". The top has a pleasing mountain and houses landscape. The bottom rim is dotted with whimsical fish in a textured sea. A great little kogo box for the collector!
    This box belonged to my Grandfather, a locally known and active antique (back in the day) collector/trader from the San Francisco Bay Area. He most likely bought this box in the San Francisco Bay area, where he lived, or in Japan, where he frequently traveled.
