Handcrafted Coconut Shell Tea Set

This unique tea service includes a kettle-style teapot with a lid, four matching handleless cups, and a coordinating circular tray, all meticulously handcrafted from natural coconut shells and dark finished wood. The teapot showcases a spherical body made from a large coconut husk, featuring a prominent wood-turned spout and curved handle. Its surface displays the characteristic fibrous texture and speckled grain of the coconut material, treated with a dark brown oil or wax finish for protection and aesthetic depth. The four cups are similarly carved from smaller coconut segments, exhibiting irregular, organic edges that highlight their natural origins. The ensemble sits upon a wide, flat wooden tray with a slightly raised rim, likely made from palm wood or another tropical hardwood with a distinctive linear grain pattern. The overall condition appears excellent with no visible cracks or significant chips, though the natural porousness and variance in the shell grain are intended features of the artisanal craftsmanship. This set likely originates from Southeast Asia or the South Pacific, produced as contemporary functional folk art within the last 20 years. Such items are valued for their eco-friendly sustainability and rustic, organic aesthetic.
