This wonderful chest was used for small intimate tea ceremonies. Various objects are used for Japanese tea rituals. The handy objects are often stored in a chest. The composition of the various bowls, pots and, for example, lid holders are personal. Ceramics can therefore come from various Japanese regions. The objects in this tea chest can be used, but are also an ornament for the interior. Chabako (cha = tea, bako = box) are traditional Japanese cedar wood boxes originally used to keep tea leaves fresh and transport them safely. Tea ceremony utensil set in a wooden storage box consisting of: - A stunning porcelain mizusashi 水指 (cold water container) glazed with a white glaze and decorated beautifully with blue details. - A chawan 茶碗 (tea bowl) of wonderful stoneware with a beautiful dark brown glaze.
