Description
An eclectic 5-piece assortment of vintage decorative kitchenware and tableware. The highlighted piece is an original Munising hand-turned maple wooden bowl. The interior floor is hand-painted with a vibrant cluster of dark red grapes accented by a green leaf and scrolled vine tendrils. The reverse side is branded with the clear factory script signature "Munising" and features three original, integrated wooden ball feet painted in a bold primary red.
The lot also features a hand-painted ceramic creamer pitcher detailed with a central multi-petal pink flower wrapped in green foliage. The upper collar rim and loop handle are finished in a deep cobalt blue slip glaze. The underside is stamped with a circular network symbol surrounded by the text "MADE IN JAPAN". Accompanying the creamer is a white earthenware teapot featuring a scalloped rim, a fluted paneled body, an ornate scroll handle, and a matching step-domed lid. The underside displays a faint, glossy relief-molded scroll seal. Completing the lot is a matched pair of cylindrical cream stoneware spice or storage jars topped with their original flat natural cork lids.

Condition Report
True Wood Condition: The Munising bowl is structurally stable and completely free from wood splits or structural shrinkage cracks. The interior hand-painted grape design is fully intact with standard superficial scratching and paint rubbing from age. The three red ball feet are firmly secured to the base with minor scuffing on their ground contact edges.
True Glass & Ceramic Condition: All ceramic vessels are free from major structural cracks or post-production breaks.
True Japan Creamer Crazing: The miniature creamer shows no exterior glaze scaling. Close macro inspection of the base reveals an incredibly tight, heavy network of uniform underglaze age-crazing lines completely sealed within the glaze melt.
True Teapot Assessment: The white teapot body is clean. The inner seating flange of the removable lid has a tiny, shallow flea bite chip that does not impact display. The exterior gloss finish is smooth with minor handling film.
True Stoneware Jars: Both cream storage cylinders are structurally sound with level bases and smooth rims. The chunky natural cork lids fit snugly into the top collars with very light edge crumbling from use.
