Attributed to Seto Yaki in the Amazon page. Used stuff can be sold on Amazon and I think that this was a used piece.
I vaguely recall that DIC was somehow connected to OMC (Otagiri Manufacturing Corp) which was active late 1940s to mid 1990s.
Seto Yaki is known for being a producer of a wide range of pottery products used daily in Japan.

DIC & OMC were exporters, did not make anything.
Thankyou both for your comments, much helpful and appreciated. Kind regards Uffe
