Japanese Chataku - Set of 5 Red Lacquer Kamakura-bori Landscape Tea Saucers

This set of five chataku (茶托 - tea saucers) are made in the classic round shape and are carved in the ornate Kamakura-bori style with landscape motifs. Inspired by Song Dynasty Chinese carved lacquer, this style employs carved woods coated in layers of lacquer, typically in vibrant vermillion red.

Chataku are the perfect way to elevate your tea serving experience. Unlike western saucers which are often made of porcelain and decorated to match a tea set, Japanese tea saucers are made from wood, lacquered wood, or metal, and generally do not match any particular set.
