        Sweets | Vintage Wooden Container

        US$165.00

        This rounded and lightweight wooden container, from Sumatra, Indonesia, was once used to store sweets and small treats. Its softly curved silhouette is accented by a series of hand-carved lines that repeat in quiet rhythm, creating a sense of balance and movement. The lid, topped with a now-broken button, still fits snugly. Its subtle imperfection adding character and contrast to the otherwise smooth form.

        At the base of the container, a delicate emblem marking hint at its story, etched faintly over time. These hidden touches have a sense of intimacy, as if meant to be discovered slowly and appreciated in quiet moments.

        This piece may recall personal memories—perhaps of a beloved grandparent’s sweet jar, brought out for family gatherings or offered as a reward for patience. Its presence carries that same gentle spirit and makes it an evocative object for the home.

        Whether styled in a kitchen, displayed on a bookshelf, or used to store tokens and trinkets, this container blends heritage and humility.
