RARE Signed Antique Japanese Sumida Gawa Pottery Mug with Raised Elephant Read

I am an AVID thrifter - This is not my full time job, more of a hobby -

This is not my source of income so I will price as fairly as I can to move items-

The thrill of the thrift drives me more than turning a dollar.

Thank you for looking

I do my best to describe the item and point out any issues- Please see pictures for the best description-

Small crack and a repair to Elephants legs- See pictures
