Japanese Lacquerware Bowl/Tea Caddy Persimmon Shape Nishimura Shoun

Description

For your consideration, a vintage Japanese lacquerware bowl/tea caddy sculpted into a persimmon shape, traditionally designed by artisan Nishimura Shoun. Orange and black colors.

In the context of the traditional Japanese tea ceremony (Chanoyu), a container like this is typically used as a Natsume (tea caddy) to store finely powdered matcha, or repurposed as a decorative Kashiki (sweets bowl) for serving seasonal confections. At one time, this specific piece would have featured a lid—often matching or mimicking a stem and green leaf pattern—to fully enclose the vessel

Dimensions: 6.63″ Diameter x 2.13″ H
