Handmade casted brass box with leaf design. Collaborating with a Japanese ceramic artist, Castin', a company formed under Takatsuji, is a project meant to bring together traditional metal smithing techniques with contemporary design. Use this box as a place for special jewelry, incense or small treasures. Or simply as it is! A beautiful, heirloom worthy, piece of art.
The surface was blackened using traditional oxidation techniques.
Approximately 1.5" tall x 3.25" long x 2.75" at the widest point
When Takatsuji Manufacturing felt the need to reinvent they asked themselves, "What is possible with casting?" and "How does metal casting fit into modern life?" CASTIN' was the answer.
