Simplicity
tea caddy
Its simplicity was obtained by removing the knob from the inner lid, which is the only part of a tea caddy that is not made with the “katamono” crafting technique. The removal of the knob enables the inner lid to be used in place of a tea scoop when measuring tealeaves into a teapot.
The inner lid is made using the “katamono” crafting technique, in which the inner cylinder of the caddy is cut so as to create parallel sections, one of which will be used as the inner lid. Because they were cut from the same piece, the diameters of the inner cylinder and the inner lid are the same, and they will fit together perfectly.
