The final surface has a depth that resembles polished stone. The interior is lacquered in a contrasting tone — a deep brown that sets off whatever it holds. Each box is numbered on the base and comes with a signed certificate.
Only 15 boxes are made per year. The lacquer will continue to harden for years after purchase, developing a richer patina with daily use.
Use it for tea leaves, letters, jewelry, or small treasures. The interior is food-safe — it can hold loose-leaf tea directly. Keep away from direct sunlight (UV fades lacquer) and avoid prolonged contact with water. Wipe with a soft, dry cloth. The surface will deepen in colour over years of use.
