Timbers differing in grain and tone are combined so that a natural character emerges within the composed form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA compact three-tiered form, its black-lacquer handle and base lend the piece a clear, restrained presence. Vermilion-lacquer ornaments at the ends of the handle provide a pleasing contrast to the wood character of the parquetry-veneered surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe interior is finished in vermilion lacquer. In contrast to the subdued wood grain of the exterior, opening the lid reveals the vermilion, imparting a brightness befitting a sweets box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are age-related scuffs, minor scratches, and slight wear to the lacquer surface, but the overall condition is good. The tiers fit together neatly, making this a piece readily suitable for practical use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt may be regarded as a sweets container for a tea gathering. Though modest in size, its tiered form conveys a composed presence, making it equally well suited to a shelf or a tabletop.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ROCANIIRU COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52741187633433,"sku":null,"price":464.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0688\/9911\/1193\/files\/2026062616296.jpg?v=1782463203","url":"https:\/\/rcnir.com\/en-ca\/products\/antique-other-wood-products-271","provider":"入蘆花（ロカニイル）","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
