AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A set of Japanese lacquerware vessels made using the urushi technique, decorated with maki-e gilding. The set consists of a round container without a lid and six small plates/coasters (two damaged).
The decorations depict plant motifs characteristic of Far Eastern art, including plum blossoms (ume), bamboo, and other elements of flora, executed in gold lacquer on a deep black background. The gilding has varying texture and a delicate relief, which indicates it is handmade.
The form and styling correspond to Japanese lacquerware from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries (Meiji/Taishō period), but I’ll leave the precise dating and the set’s intended use to an expert.
Objects made of wood coated with black urushi lacquer, adorned with gold maki-e decoration. A set with a functional and decorative character.
