Very large Antique Tibetan Lemon Wood Tea Press
The Tibetans would fill the cylinder with hot oil and add copious amounts of tea leaves. Then they would take a plunger and use it to press the tea flavors into the oil. Although it is missing the plunger, the shape and the aged lemon wood make this Tibetan tea press a beautiful ethnographic object. It stands approximately 28 inches high and is 150 years old.
