AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The entire body of the vessel is painted with natural lacquer, and the black paint is bright and restrained. The cover and body are decorated with chrysanthemum patterns and tung leaf patterns using gold-maki-e techniques - these two patterns are common family crest symbols of the Japanese royal family and nobility. The edges are gold-plated, which improves the durability and quality of the vessel. The interior is also painted with black paint, which can effectively prevent moisture and protect the tea powder.
