This is a used tea ladle with a Ippuku pattern.
The box is not included.
This ladle is smaller than a standard one and is ideal for scooping the right amount of hot water when preparing tea in the Mizuya (tea preparation room) during a tea ceremony.
There are no cracks or chips, but there are some minor stains and some discoloration due to age.
As it is made of natural material, please understand that minor scratches and stains are part of its character.
We ask for your understanding that this is a used item.
Free shipping is planned via Mercari delivery service.
