A beautiful Japanese Wajima lacquer Natsume Tea Caddy from the early 1900s signed by Minefusa. The lid and body finely hand carved with exacting precision from a single piece of solid Cherry Wood. The Tea Caddy is decorated featuring a Gold and red enamel Shippo (Seven Treasures) design set on a substantial, multi layered black Urushi Lacquer base. Included is a custom, quality hand crafted Cedar box also signed by Minefusa 峯房 including the artist’s seal.
Natsume are lacquered wooden containers which are primarily used to store and present the matcha used for making usucha (thin tea). This Natsume Tea Caddy will have taken the best part of a year for the craftsman to construct and to complete the many layers of Urushi Lacquer. It is in excellent condition for its age.
A traditional Tea Ceremony Caddy such as this is used to hold Usu-Cha or Matcha, a fine powdered Green Tea. The dimensions are 6.5 cm diameter and 6.8 cm high
