Product description

Some objects need no introduction. This gold lacquer natsume is one of them. Its hourglass silhouette, the horizontal striations engraved with obsessive precision across the entire body and lid, the vermilion trim running discreetly between the two parts: everything here testifies to a rare, patient, and deeply Japanese craftsmanship.

The gold lacquer technique, a cousin of the famous makie, consists of applying multiple layers of lacquer onto a turned wood base before depositing gold powder. The result is this warm, slightly matte surface that catches the light without ever overwhelming it.

A vintage collector's piece, it bears the subtle traces of time which, far from being flaws, constitute its very authenticity. Only one item available, for those who understand that true beauty cannot be replicated.

Care: gold lacquer is a delicate surface: a soft, dry cloth is sufficient for maintenance, without water or abrasive products that would damage the gilding.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the gold lacquer technique used on this natsume?

It is a technique related to maki-e, which consists of applying several layers of lacquer to a turned wood base before adding gold powder.

Can I clean it with water?

No, old lacquer is sensitive to knocks and moisture: clean it only with a soft, dry cloth.

Is this pot meant for everyday use?

It is a one-of-a-kind vintage piece, intended more for display or for a ceremony tray than for daily handling.

How to use it?

A natsume is a small Japanese tea container named after the jujube, whose shape it echoes. It holds matcha.
What it is for: it protects the powder from air and light and sits on the tea tray. It is also an object worth displaying.
Keep matcha in it, away from light, humidity and odours: it is a natsume, the tea ceremony caddy.
Set it on a ceremony tray, or display it on its own as a decorative sculpture.
Handle with care: old lacquer is sensitive to knocks.
Clean with a soft, dry cloth only. Never immerse it in water and avoid sudden temperature changes.
Idea: set it on your tea tray with the bowl and the chasen, so everything is within reach.
Good to know: always close the lid after use and keep it away from light and heat.
