My surface changes over years of use to obtain a subtler finish over time. Some say that’s called growing old, but I like to think of it as aging gracefully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCurator's Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe classic shape and Kuro-Mura casted surface on these trays gives them an antique appearance. This traditional method of casting mixes pigments with Japanese lacquer (Urushi) giving a unique texture and sophisticated appearance. Their weight feels substantial and appropriate for daily use while the slow oxidization of the brass makes its coloration and texture look richer over many years of usage.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.2;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLarge Kuro-Mura Stationary Tray was curated by Stevenson Aung\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDesigner\/Maker\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaker: \u003c\/b\u003eFutagami\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDesigner: \u003c\/b\u003eMasanori Oji\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDimensions: \u003c\/b\u003e3.5” (w) x 9.5” (l) x 0.5” (h) or 89mm (w) x 241mm (l) x 13mm (h)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight: \u003c\/b\u003e1.1lbs or 0.50kg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaterials: \u003c\/b\u003eBrass and Velvet\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlso available in a set with the medium and small stationary tray\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/nalatanalatasavings.com\/collections\/all\/products\/brass-stationary-tray-set\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlackened surface is created by mixing pigments with Japanese lacquer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCurved facet edges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVelvet underside\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for pen\/pencil holder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrass from Toyama Prefecture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMolding in Takaoka City\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrass is an alloy of copper and zinc\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrass products gradually change their color over the course of many years due to oxidization\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA dark warm patina is expected to develop within 2 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Futagami","offers":[{"title":"Kuro-mura Stationary Tray - Large","offer_id":404381501,"sku":"FUT33","price":170.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0194\/5843\/products\/KMStationaryTrayL_FINAL.jpg?v=1399930961","url":"https:\/\/nalatanalatasavings.com\/products\/kuro-mura-stationary-tray-large","provider":"Nalata Nalata","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
