3. Points to Consider
When selecting a lid rest, please take the following specifications into account.
① Checking Dimensions
All three models measure approximately φ53 × H20 mm. Please compare these with your existing teaware by checking the diameter of your teapot or gaiwan lid and the available space on your tea tray.
② Tone and Material
SEKIMONO lid rests are crafted from copper with a subtle, patinated finish. You can choose a work that complements the color and style of your existing ceramic or porcelain teaware.
4. Daily Care
SEKIMONO copper lid rests feature a patinated surface finish. After use, wipe away any moisture with a soft cloth and store in a well-ventilated area. Please avoid using abrasives, metal scouring pads, or dishwashers, as these may damage the patinated finish.
