Thank you for viewing. Please read the profile before commenting or purchasing. A small, round natsume (tea caddy) for tea ceremony utensils, with black shell inlay. I don't have much knowledge of tea ceremony utensils, so I may not be able to answer your questions. There is some cloudiness on the lid, but the inside is in a clean condition. The mother-of-pearl inlay gives it a luxurious feel. There are no noticeable scratches, and I think it can still be used for a long time. I will wrap it in cushioning material and ship it via Rakuraku Mercari (Takkyubin). Thank you. - Color: Black - Decoration: Shell inlay - Shape: Round - Purpose: Tea ceremony utensils - Size: Small
