Japanese Makie Natsume by Soryo Quail & Silver Grass Lacquer Tea Caddy Box
Description
This is an antique Japanese lacquer tea caddy (natsume) used in the traditional tea ceremony (chado).
It features refined craftsmanship, showcasing the elegant form, lacquer finish, and decorative techniques that can only be found in authentic Japanese tea utensils.
The natsume is suitable not only for tea practice and display, but also as a collectible item for those who appreciate Japanese aesthetics, lacquer art, and the beauty of traditional chadōgu.
As an antique item, it may show minor signs of age such as subtle wear, small imperfections, or natural lacquer patina, but nothing that detracts from its overall beauty or character.
It remains a well-preserved and highly appealing piece, retaining the refined presence expected of quality tea ceremony utensils.
If you have any questions about its condition or specific details, please feel free to contact me anytime.
Highly recommended for collectors of Japanese tea ceremony tools, lacquerware, or traditional Japanese art.
