This is a round lacquered tray. It's well-made. It's a bright color with a glossy finish and is very beautiful. It looks like it will shine the more you polish it. It's also the right size to carry a single person's tea and sweets. It can be used to serve tea to the chief priest during the equinox and Obon festivals, or coffee or tea to guests. If you stack teacups, you can probably fit two servings. Please refer to the size below. Size: Diameter: Outer frame: 24cm Inner frame: 23cm Height: 3.2cm There are a few small scratches that look like they've been rubbed, visible upon close inspection. Please check photos 4, 5, and 6. Photo 4 is the front side. I don't think the back side is a concern. I have others, so I'm putting them up for sale. For those who understand and need one.
