About the Item

By the 18th century, opium use had become as central to Chinese social life as taking tea or smoking tobacco, fostering a subculture rich with its own customs, traditions, and exquisitely crafted accoutrements. One of the most important accessories was the tray, used to hold one's lamp and tools and to catch any falling ashes. This 19th-century opium tray is a beautiful example of Chinese woodworking, crafted of a fine hardwood with a refined form and traditional joinery. Splits to the base have been restored.
