This elegant lidded container showcases the warm reddish-brown glow of traditional Japanese lacquerwork, crafted with finely carved concentric lines that create a rhythmic, tactile surface. Its rounded, gourd-like silhouette reflects classic tea utensils, offering both aesthetic charm and functional refinement.

A graceful piece that brings warmth and character to any interior or collection.
