The crests, or Mon, appearing are two Shippo Mon (precious things - this configuration known to be associated with the Emori and Kobori families) and one Takaha Mon (hawk feathers this configuration known to associated with the Fukuyama family in Bingo province.) Good condition with minor rubbing and wear (particularly along the foot rim) and light loss (one small spot along the rim.) Diameter 3 1/4 inches (8.26 cm). Height 2 1/16 inches (5.25 cm)
