This tray is cast from solid brass and finished using traditional techniques. The deep black surface is not painted; it is achieved through oxidation and chemical processes developed over years of experience, and is safe to touch without transferring color. In addition, a traditional coloring technique brings out the verdigris — the natural patina unique to brass — allowing you to enjoy its vivid and distinctive hues.
The S size tray is perfect for holding everyday items such as keys or small accessories. The contrast between the darkened surface and the raised patterns adds a subtle yet elegant accent to any space.
Based in Takaoka, Toyama, a city with over 400 years of casting history, Takatsuji Seisakusho has been crafting household Buddhist altar fittings and artisanal objects from brass for over 70 years.
In 2019, the company launched its own brand, CASTIN’, exploring the possibilities of cast metal and creating functional pieces that bring meaning and character to everyday life. While honoring traditional techniques, CASTIN’ also introduces new designs suited to contemporary living.
