Vintage Japanese Chabitsu Tea Ware Container, 1970s, Showa Era (SKU 25D-152)

Glossy vermilion urushi and a fitted tomobako for refined tea presentation.

This vintage Showa Era Japanese tea set is presented in a signed wooden tomobako, with a rounded lacquered body finished in rich vermilion. The high-gloss surface and black interior create a striking contrast, giving the piece a strong presence even when at rest.

A refined piece of Showa-era Japanese craftsmanship with timeless tabletop appeal.

As part of our mission to preserve and share Japanese craftsmanship, we offer antiques that were made not just to be admired, but to be used. These pieces were crafted for everyday life, and we honor their purpose by ensuring they can continue to be enjoyed and lived with today.

We use professional studio lighting to highlight the natural character of the wood. As a result, the tone may appear slightly warmer than under natural daylight.

All vintage and antique items are sold as-is. Each piece may exhibit signs of age, including scratches, wear, or minor imperfections. These are not considered defects but natural evidence of the item’s authenticity and age.
