Old Pine Tree Natsume (Tea Caddy) with Iyo-sudare Takaramon (Treasure Crest) Fabric Cover is up for auction. This is a very old item, likely from the early Showa era or even earlier. Despite being an antique that has been cherished for many years, it is in good condition with only minor wear on the bottom where it touches the tatami mat. The Iyo-sudare Takaramon fabric cover for the long cord is also in good condition, with no noticeable scratches or stains, although it shows signs of aging. Please use it for tea ceremony practice. Size: Diameter 9cm, Height 6cm Accessories: Paulownia wood box (made later?), Long cord fabric cover Note: It has been carefully stored, and aside from what is described in the item 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 I may have missed. Please understand this and consider it. I will upload as many photos as possible, so please make your judgment based on the photos. Basically, this is a used antique, so please forgive any claims due to minor scratches, dirt, or stains, except for major defects that would hinder use. Also, the outer box, tags, and other accessories may have dirt, writing, stains, or discoloration, but I will not mention them specifically, so please understand. Inconsistencies between the photos and the description should be judged based on the photos. Please make your own judgment and assessment. (YM5100106)
