Otagiri Hand Crafted Jar with Hinged cover

Made in Japan by Otagiri, this jar with a hinged cover is hand crafted. This is one of the best locking containers I have ever seen. When you unlatch it, the lid bursts open. Excellent seal. This is also a contradiction to the knowledge I have on Japanese wares. The ring aound the lid of the container is marked Made In Japan. The foil sticker on the bottom reads, HAND CRAFTED Otagiri, Japan. This container stands 7 1/2" tall and 13" round. Very gently used. Perfect condition.
