Black Lacquer Tea Tray

Playful Elegance

A masterful creation combining raw lacquer, clay, and fabric, finished with a delicate copper rim. This dish features layers of black, silver, and green lacquer, polished to reveal subtle gradations in color and texture. Color born from friction. The interplay of silver and green is not painted on; it is revealed through hours of careful polishing, breathing life into the deep black lacquer. Elegant yet playful, it can serve as a tea tray, dessert plate, or inspire your own imaginative uses.

A metallic embrace. The hand-applied copper rim acts as a frame for the artistic chaos of the lacquer, bridging ancient organic materials with a sharp, modern silhouette.
