An offering of a split-lid tea container with early plum and mandarin duck lacquer work, made by Koun Takano, favored by Master Ii Soshu for the December tea ceremony. Originally one item from the Ii Soshu December tea utensil set, it was mostly kept for display and rarely used. It is in very good condition with no noticeable damage, except for very slight wear on the bottom from storage. As there is no original box, it will be sold at a low price. Please consider purchasing it. Size: 9 cm diameter, 6 cm height Accessories: No original box (comes with a handmade paper box) Note: It has been carefully stored, and aside from what is described in the product description, I believe there are no obvious noticeable scratches. However, there may be inconspicuous scratches, natural fading, or dents due to aging and storage that may have been overlooked. Please understand this before purchasing. I will upload photos as much as possible, so please make your judgment based on the photos. Basically, this is a used antique item, so please refrain from claims due to minor scratches, wear, or stains, except for major defects that would interfere with use. Also, there may be stains, writing, or discoloration on the outer box and other included items, but they will not be specifically mentioned, so please be aware of this. In case of discrepancies between the photos and the description, please prioritize the photos and make your own judgment. (YM5120305)
