I'm selling this item because it was at my parents' house and I don't use it. It's old, so it has signs of use and scratches as shown in the photos. How about it for practice? Please understand that this is a personal item and purchase accordingly. A black lacquered tea ceremony container (natsume) with a beautiful floral pattern. It looks like inlaid mother-of-pearl (raden). - Color: Black - Design: Lacquered floral pattern - Material: Lacquer - Purpose: Tea ceremony utensils - Size: Approximately 7cm x 7cm Thank you for looking. #Natsume (tea container) #Matcha (powdered green tea) #TeaCeremonyUtensils #TeaCeremony #Lacquerware #Raden (mother-of-pearl inlay)
