EBONY TEAPOT STAND, Showa Era (1926–1989 CE)

This exquisite teapot stand is crafted from ebony, meticulously hollowed out to create its elegant form. We have acquired three sets, but this marks its debut in our exhibition. The rich, lustrous texture of the ebony showcases its fine wood grain, making it suitable not only for serving sencha but also as a stand for small Chinese teapots. It is ideally suited for a more controlled and delicate tea ceremony, rather than one characterized by a hasty pouring of water.
