A wonderfully authentic vintage Japanese tea shipping chest retaining its original colourful paper labels and zinc-lined interior. Once used to transport tea, these utilitarian crates have become sought-after decorative pieces, admired for their honest construction, rich patina and bold graphic appeal.

The chest features its original lid, traditional timber construction and metal-lined interior, making it both practical and full of character. The beautifully aged labels depicting Mount Fuji, Japanese script and tea branding tell the story of its original purpose, while the natural wear only adds to its charm.

Perfect as a coffee table, blanket box, toy chest or striking storage piece in a modern, rustic or eclectic home.
