>> I have some of the beautifully made boxes that Japanese pottery came in, but I don't know what to do with them. They sit in a box, hidden away in the storage room. <<

Keep the boxes safe and cherish them. They're part of the provenance of
the ceramic pieces they contained. Sometimes the only provenance.

If they're really nice, you might put them on display as objects in
their own right.

Some of my shelves are deep enough that I can display the box as the
background to the pot. Nice.

"There is a theory which states that
if ever anyone discovers exactly what
the universe is for and why it's here,
it will instantly disappear and be
replaced by something even more bizzarly
inexplicable."

"There is another theory which states
that this has already happened!"
