Wooden Tea Cup Saucer - Black
木製茶托
An expertly crafted wooden saucer made in Mie Prefecture.
This elegant saucer is made of katsura, a medium-sized deciduous tree native to Japan which is often used in carpentry. Katsura is characterized by its light weight, straight grain and aromatic, pleasant scent, making it a popular material for tools, furniture and ornaments. This saucer provides an aesthetic addition to any interior and has been painted using sumi ink, making it an excellent contrast for light coloured cups.
Size: Ø18 cm x H1.9-2.4 cm
