The warm-toned wood shows a pronounced grain and is finished with a smooth lacquer coating, which deepens the colour and gives the surface a soft sheen.

Dimensions: height 7.5 cm, diameter 13 cm.

The shape is simple and elegant, with fine turned grooves that subtly highlight its craftsmanship. The lid fits well, making this piece not only decorative but genuinely practical.

The original packaging reads 木製 うるし塗 (mokusei urushi-nuri): wood finished with urushi lacquer. The brand/workshop is listed as Yama Craft.

In perfect condition and complete with the original box. Beautiful for tea, but also ideal as a stylish storage container for small items on a shelf, desk, or in the kitchen. See less
