Japanese Chataku - Set of 5 Vintage Cherry Bark Tea Saucers

This set of five vintage chataku (茶托 - tea saucers) are made from cherry bark using the traditional kabazaiku (樺細工) technique in which a thin veneer of hand-scraped and polished cherry bark is carefully applied to a wooden core.

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.

12.1cm (4.8in) - width
