Echizen Lacquerware – Wooden Flower-Shaped Tray – Hand-Lacquered with Genuine Urushi
We are pleased to introduce a flower-shaped wooden tray from Echizen lacquerware.
This piece is crafted from carefully selected natural wood and finished by hand with layers of black urushi lacquer.
Originally designed for use in the tea ceremony, this is a genuine, professional-grade tray suitable for preparing and serving tea.
The tray features petal-shaped edges with a moderate height, harmonizing both functionality for tea preparation (temae) and refined design.
The rim’s top edge is accented in vermilion lacquer, creating a striking contrast against the deep black body.
The surface is subtly undulated in gentle wave-like patterns, adding both an anti-slip function and a sense of organic beauty to the form.
Because the rim stands vertically, the surface area can be used efficiently, making it practical and secure even as a serving tray.
Made with the requirements of tea ceremony use in mind, this tray exemplifies functionality, ease of handling, and quiet elegance. Its understated yet refined design reflects the essence of authentic Echizen lacquerware craftsmanship.
Dimensions: Diameter 28.5 cm × Height 4 cm
Material: Wood
Finish: Hand-applied genuine urushi lacquer
