Description from the seller
Gold Lacquerware Makie Crane and Pine Square Tea Tray 5pcs with Box
A harmonious set of five square tea trays finished in deep glossy lacquer and adorned with refined maki-e decoration, where elegant cranes glide across stylized pine motifs rendered in soft gold tones, creating a balanced contrast between movement and geometric order. The crisp square forms are softened by gently rounded edges, while the repeating patterns reveal the careful hand of traditional lacquer craftsmanship rather than mechanical uniformity. Each tray functions beautifully on its own, yet together they form a cohesive visual rhythm that reflects the Japanese appreciation for seasonal symbolism, with cranes representing longevity and pine trees evoking endurance and quiet strength. Subtle variations in the lacquer surface and gold detailing add warmth and character, making this set suitable not only for serving tea and sweets but also for display as decorative objects, and presented with its original box, it offers a graceful blend of practicality, symbolism, and timeless aesthetic appeal.
