Antique Japanese Carved Wood Hibachi with Copper Liner

Description: A beautiful and functional piece of Japanese heritage, this Showa-period Hibachi (traditional brazier) is hand-carved from solid cedar with a deep, textured basketweave motif. The interior features its original hand-hammered copper liner, which displays a stunning aged verdigris patina.
Originally used to hold charcoal for heating or tea preparation, this versatile piece now serves as a sophisticated planter, a unique drinks cooler, or a decorative side table when topped with glass. 
 
Condition Grade: Very Good 
• Details: The wood case is structurally sound with a rich, dark finish. There is minor surface wear and small "character" nicks to the edges consistent with age. The copper liner is intact and water-tight, showing natural oxidation and a beautiful green verdigris patina on the interior.
