A refined example of traditional Japanese metalwork, this authentic vintage Nambu ware coaster dates to the 1960s (Showa era) and was sourced directly from a Japanese government antique auction.
Handcrafted using traditional casting techniques, this piece features a beautifully balanced leaf motif, symbolizing nature, harmony, and seasonal change—core elements of Japanese aesthetics. The surface displays a rich red-brown patina, developed naturally over time, giving the piece depth and quiet character.
Signed by the maker, this coaster carries both artistic and collectible value. While originally intended for use in tea settings, it also serves beautifully as a display object within wabi-sabi or minimalist interiors.
