Vintage Japanese tea utensil cabinet, Showa period, 1927-1945 | SKU: 26M-009-2

A quietly beautiful tea set gathered in one well kept wooden cabinet.

This vintage Japanese tea utensil cabinet presents a thoughtful arrangement of ceramic, bamboo, and lacquer pieces housed in a tall wooden case with a hinged front door and carrying handle. The interior is divided into sections, with each shelf holding a different element of the tea service, from the blue and white ceramic vessel to the glossy red and black lacquerware.

The warm wood grain and softly aged surfaces give the piece a calm Showa era character, while the hand painted ceramics add a refined contrast. It offers a distinctive way to enjoy Japanese tea ceremony aesthetics, whether displayed as a decorative accent or appreciated as a functional vintage grouping.
