Edo Era Japanese Tea Ceremony Bronze Lid Stand Box

Edo Era, pre 1868. 1.8" wide by 1.3" tall. Excellent condition, accompanied by a marked tomobako storage box, describing it as an old bronze lid stand. Known in Japanese as the futaoki, it is often handmade of bamboo, or made of ceramic which are common. This is an attractively simple piece with a nice aged patina, appropriate for use in tea practice or as an addition to a tea ceremony utensil collection.
