This is a wooden box used to hold charcoal for tea ceremony utensils. A fire tong is included. It is an antique item. The surface has a chisel-cut finish, giving it a unique texture. There is a small chip at the base of the handle (see photo), but overall, the soot color has permeated the wood, giving it the distinctive age of an antique. The charcoal is also included. Mouth width (outer): 18cm x 18cm Height to the edge: 20cm Height to the handle: 26cm Length of fire tong (copper): 16.8cm All measurements are approximate and taken by an amateur. While it is a tea ceremony utensil for handling charcoal, it could be interesting to use it for other purposes depending on your ideas. Thank you for looking.
