Vintage Japanese Glass Tea Chest — 2000s, Heisei Era (SKU: 25M-C307)
A graceful union of display and tradition
Crafted with elegant symmetry, this glass-fronted tea chest embodies the quiet pride of Japanese tea culture. The deep reddish wood is hand-carved with subtle floral motifs, encasing glass that reveals shelves perfect for displaying tea ceramics, scrolls, or kogo. Below, twin drawers offer concealed storage for the tools of the ritual.
The cabinet’s vertical form, fine joinery, and balanced proportions reflect wabi-sabi—beauty in functionality and restraint. Whether in a tea room, office, or gallery, it invites calm and contemplation through its presence and purpose.
