Goddess Tea Jar
This eleven inch tall tea jar features an image of the Hindu goddess Durga. Durga is an incarnation of the Mother Goddess, a unified symbol of all divine forces. This jar is perfect for holding your loose leaf or bagged teas.This collection of fine Chinese home furnishings is hand-crafted by artisans working in the age-old tradition of China's Fujian Province, known worldwide for its dazzling lacquerware and wood carving. Built with Philippine mahogany and elm wood, this furniture features an indigenous Fujian lacquering style which uses seven carefully polished layers of lacquer-tree sap to create a complex, beautiful, and sturdy surface; each piece is then antique-finished for a gorgeous authentic look. The resulting surface has a matte finish, unusual among Chinese lacquer furniture, which is usually very shiny.
