Enjoy the tactile and visual experience of this turned and carved wood cup with the Japanese Inspired Urushi lacquerware finish. Use as a decorative piece to hold cherished trinkets or small jewelry pieces like rings and earrings on your nightstand.

This piece explores techniques used to simulate antique Japanese Lacquerware. Usually done with Urushi a toxic resin from a tree I am using special paints and layering them and rubbing away layers to expose previously painted colors. This item can be used as a display piece of art or have a utilitarian use on a night stand as a jewelry keeper or catch all for rings and things. The form is turned on a wood lathe and the overlapping line is carved to appear like a wrap around belt attached with brass nails. The piece is 3 inch diameter by 3 inches tall.

This piece will bring years of enjoyment and conversation with friends when displayed on a table or shelf.

It is also a great gift item.
