Vintage Japanese Mixed Metal and Copper Tea Service Set

This is a three-piece collection of antique or vintage copper tea vessels, likely of Japanese origin. The set includes a large cylindrical container (possibly a tea caddy or water humidor), a traditional gooseneck tea kettle, and a smaller matching cylindrical pot. The large vessel on the left features a distinctive relief design of bamboo stalks, a classic motif in Asian decorative arts, and a flat lid with a looped metal handle. Each piece is constructed from copper with visible signs of hand-craftsmanship, including soldered seams and hammered textures. The central kettle features a decorative turned wooden handle grip held by copper brackets to protect the user from heat. The smaller pot on the right mirrors the cylindrical aesthetic of the larger piece, with a small pouring spout and fitted lid. All three items exhibit a heavy, aged patina with significant oxidation and darkening typical of copper that has not been polished for several decades. There are visible surface abrasions, minor dents consistent with age and utility, and mineral buildup near the spouts suggesting historical use. The style suggests early to mid-20th-century craftsmanship, characterized by sturdy functional design and subtle ornamental metalwork.
