Copper Chrysanthemum Crest paperweight (菊花紋章 文鎮) from Japan, in good used condition with minor signs of aging, dating to 1970–1980 and 1980–1990, includes the original wooden storage box and a decorative purple tassel cord.
Description from the seller
This is a commemorative copper paperweight (文鎮) featuring the Chrysanthemum Crest (菊花紋章) motif.
The front displays a finely rendered sixteen-petal chrysanthemum design in relief, symbolically associated with the Japanese Imperial emblem. The warm copper tone has developed a natural patina over time, enhancing its dignified appearance. The reverse side shows subtle decorative finishing consistent with commemorative production pieces.
The paperweight comes housed in its original wooden storage box. It has been kept in long-term storage. No major damage was observed; however, due to age and storage, there may be minor surface wear. Please review the photographs carefully for condition details.
This piece is suitable for collectors of Japanese memorabilia, imperial-related motifs, or traditional desk accessories.
