I am a large blackened brass stationary tray. My surface changes over years of use to obtain a subtler finish over time. Some say that’s called growing old, but I like to think of it as aging gracefully.

Curator's Notes

The classic shape and Kuro-Mura casted surface on these trays gives them an antique appearance. This traditional method of casting mixes pigments with Japanese lacquer (Urushi) giving a unique texture and sophisticated appearance. Their weight feels substantial and appropriate for daily use while the slow oxidization of the brass makes its coloration and texture look richer over many years of usage.
