Estimated Shipping Widget will be displayed here!
This round tray of zelkova by Yamanaka Lacquerware is made by hollowing out a single piece of wood without any joints. It is thick and solid, and will become an eye-catching item just by placing it on the table.
It is the right size to hold a set meal for one person, and can also be set with tea or sake utensils to create a cohesive and beautiful look.
The lacquer is applied in a "Fuki-Urushi" (wiped lacquer) finish, in which the lacquer is applied and wiped repeatedly to make the best use of the grain of the wood. The luster and transparency of the lacquer accentuate the dynamic grain of the zelkova wood. Its traditional design is suitable for long-term use, daily use, or when entertaining guests.
