The object
Form and detail
This Tea Boat by Chiju combines a broad, rounded outer form with an angular recessed centre. Raised lines across the centre and a gently curving edge give the piece a sculptural presence on the tea table.
Its dark surface reveals warm tones in the recesses, bringing attention to the contrast between the circular outline and the geometry within.
Cherry wood and urushi
The tea boat is made from cherry wood and finished with urushi lacquer. The finish follows the curves and recessed details of the wood, giving the surface its dark, quietly reflective character.
