A tea canister with presence. This Japanese lacquer caddy holds about 50–70 g of loose leaves, but it does more than keep tea fresh — it adds a quiet ritual to your shelf or tea table. The spinning top motif has long been a symbol in urushi (Japanese lacquerware), and here it’s given a playful, modern twist with richly hued finishes. Lightweight yet refined, it’s as much about the daily gesture of opening and closing as it is about storage.
