{"product_id":"plum-shippo-ware-slim-pen-tray","title":"Plum Shippo Ware Slim Pen Tray","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis pen tray, adorned with charming plum blossoms against a beautiful golden background, is a traditional Japanese craft known as Shippo ware (Japanese cloisonne). Each design is meticulously hand-painted with glassy enamel on copper and fired at a high temperature of around 800 degrees, resulting in colors that are more vivid than those of ceramics. Because it is made from glass, the colors and patterns never fade, allowing it to be passed down from generation to generation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0775\/0333\/2635\/files\/DSC01999-2.jpg?v=1716886452\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tray is sized to comfortably hold two pens with some space to spare, making it perfect for adding a touch of Japanese elegance and vibrancy to your desk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImagining this piece of Shippo ware, with its origins dating back to the 6th or 7th century, gracing your desk overseas is truly wonderful.
