Thank you for viewing. I am selling items that I have stored in my warehouse or purchased at antique fairs. The descriptions are automatically generated by AI. Please use the images to judge the authenticity for yourself as a reference. This beautiful tea caddy is a traditional tea utensil known as a natsume (date), carefully crafted by Hiroki Yamaguchi, a craftsman from the Nakaizu kiln. The two small vases feature deep brown and gentle green lids, and their design is attractive, enhancing the beauty of Japanese aesthetics. This tea utensil embodies the spirit of the tea ceremony and is an essential item for tea ceremonies. It not only beautifully stores tea leaves but also makes an excellent interior decoration. The warmth you feel every time you hold it and the unique texture created by the craftsman's skill provide a special experience for those who love the tea ceremony. Please consider adding this tea caddy to your collection to enrich your tea time. Pottery from the old days may have distortions, manufacturing flaws (kiln marks), and underfired areas (cracks). These are inherent characteristics, and I do not specifically mention them in the product description. Please carefully check the condition of the item in the images before purchasing. Size: W (Width) 7 cm H (Height) 6 cm Mouth 3 cm Please forgive any oversight in my amateur inspection of the item. However, I try my best to be thorough. Some items may be sold with existing dirt. Also, items are sold after only a simple cleaning. Therefore, I have set the price lower. If you have any other questions, please contact me in the comments. I may miss some responses due to the large number of items I am selling, but please comment again if that happens. NKK02584
