[There's some slight, minor discoloration on the upper right area of the teak charger's interior basin.

There's some slight, minor discoloration on the upper right area of the teak charger's interior basin. The serving tray/centerpiece was gently cleaned with #0000, extra fine steel wool and then moisturized with 100% organic teak oil. The charger wasn't ground down or touched with an electric orbital sander or anything mechanized or harsh. The slightly discolored area could be further diminished by increased use of #0000, extra-fine steel wool. There are perhaps more importantly, no edge flea-bites, teak loss or noticeable surface scuffs or abrasions on the charger. The lighter hardwood dove of peace, cut-out inlaid graphic iconography is in terrific shape, with no lifting on any of its edges. It has a dry, matte finish and great, naturally aged amber color with honey and chestnut veins. Realized in the late 1950's to early 1970's, this post-WWII Japanese teak tropical hardwood veneer charger designed by Shigemichi Aomine for National Crafts Council (N.C.C.) of Japan, was well-made and is an unusual, scarce Japanese mid-century artifact and post-WWII period, decorative object. Very handsome and timely, to say the least.
