This item was purchased from the Ever Stand workshop in Myanmar over 20 years ago. Bagan crafts have been prized as exotic tea utensils in Japan since the time of Sen no Rikyu. However, due to various changes in the local situation in recent years, it seems that the continuation of this culture will unfortunately become increasingly difficult. Considering that the rarity of these items will likely increase in the future, it feels a bit regrettable to part with it. However, as it is just being kept in storage, I would like to offer it to someone who will appreciate and use it. The item is covered with intricate, detailed patterns. It is a very delicate and beautiful piece, and I think it would be wonderful as an interior decoration or as a serving dish for fruits or sweets. Although it has been stored without use, there is a chip on the edge as shown in the image. ●Size: Diameter 38cm, Height approx. 2cm ◆Bagan Lacquerware◆ This technique involves drawing patterns on the surface of a bamboo-framed, lacquered base with a blade, and then rubbing colored lacquer into the scratches to create the design. The Japanese technique called Kinma (蒟醤) also seems to have originated from techniques brought from the southern regions such as Myanmar and Thailand. ※Please consider this item with the understanding that it has been stored in a private home for a certain period of time. ※The purchase price of this product includes a shipping fee of 1050 yen.
