Thank you for viewing! This is a tin tea caddy made by "Seikado" during the Heian period. It has been stored in a warehouse for many years. We are currently organizing the items in the warehouse, and since we have no plans to use this, we are offering it for sale to someone who would like to own it. 《Tea Caddy Body》 Size: Height 10.5cm Width approx. 10cm Weight: 455.5g Accessories: Wooden box, wrapping cloth I'm not sure when it was purchased, but I believe it is quite old. I think it dates back to the Meiji, Taisho, or early Showa periods, but I'm not sure of the exact time. Please refer to the writing on the box and the manufacturer's description inside the box for more information. I am not particularly knowledgeable about antiques, so I may not be able to answer detailed questions. Please make your judgment based on the photos. As for the condition, it appears to be free of any noticeable scratches, dents, or stains, and I think it is in good condition for an item that has been stored for many years. (This is just my personal opinion, so please make your judgment based on the photos.) "Seikado" (1838~) Founded in the late Edo period, in the ninth year of Tenpo, as a tin (suz) craftsman at its current location. Since then, we have been working on the production of solemn items for shrines and temples, and items for the Imperial Court. Our specialty, tin and silver products, develop a unique texture and flavor the longer they are used. Please enjoy the beauty of the patina, the wabi-sabi that comes with the passage of time. The history that has been carved over the years, from parent to child, and from child to grandchild, leads to attachment. Please refrain from purchasing if you are overly sensitive. No smokers or pets. Instant purchase is OK.
