At SEKIMONO, some tea ceremony utensils listed on our product pages are marked as made-to-order. Before purchasing, it is important to read the description for each item and distinguish between the production timeline and your own required delivery date.
"Made-to-order" labels on product pages
For example, the product pages for Golden Toad | Copper Tea Scoop, One Thought｜Lid Rest, Fortune from All Directions｜Pot Stand, and Kanjizai｜Tea Tray state that they are made-to-order and typically require about 3–7 days for production after an order is placed.
Distinguishing between production time and arrival time
The "about 3–7 days" indicated on the product page refers to the production time for the items mentioned above. If you have a specific date by which you need the item, please do not rely solely on the production time; be sure to check the shipping information displayed at the time of order as well.
Details to check for each item
- Materials and intended use
- External dimensions shown on the product page
- Descriptions of design and surface finishes for each piece
- Current information regarding made-to-order status and production lead times
Some product pages include notes about production in Wuxi, Jiangsu, China, or details regarding hand-finishing and surface coloration. As these details vary by item, please check the page for the specific product you are considering.
