A four-sided tea tray from the Joseon Dynasty, with a beautiful wooden finish.

This is a square sencha tray made during the Joseon Dynasty. It is finished with black lacquer and features a soft, calm color. It is a convenient size for kaiseki and tea ceremonies, and can be used as a tea table for about three people.

What is particularly noteworthy about this tray is that the cracks in the wood have been carefully repaired with pieces of wood and nails. This is a masterpiece that shows the maker's dedication and attitude to treating wood with care. These traces of repair are also part of the charm of a tool that has stood the test of time.
