This is an elegant collection of traditional Japanese lacquerware trays, finished in deep black urushi-style lacquer and decorated with refined maki-e techniques. Across the set, you will find a variety of classic Japanese motifs: • Seasonal floral designs rendered in gold, red, and soft pastel tones • Cranes in flight, symbolizing longevity and good fortune • Bamboo and geometric patterns inspired by kimono textiles • Fine sprinkled gold backgrounds (nashiji-style effect visible in several trays) The craftsmanship emphasizes contrast between glossy black lacquer and delicate gold detailing, a hallmark of Showa-period Japanese household lacquerware. Based on the materials, decorative style, and construction visible in the images, this set is estimated to have been produced in the mid to late 20th century (circa 1960s–1980s, Showa era). The assortment includes trays of multiple shapes and sizes (rectangular, octagonal, and serving trays with handles), making this a visually rich and versatile collection suitable for: • Japanese interior display • Tea ceremony or serving use • Collection or resale of vintage Japanese lacquerware All pieces show natural signs of age consistent with vintage lacquerware.
