Box - a carp leaping beneath cascading water and overhanging blossoms - Ceramic, lacquer

Good condition. Description: This ceramic box is an especially distinctive piece that combines pottery with lacquer decoration, creating an object that feels both substantial and highly ornate. The body is circular and slightly domed, with the lid finished in dark brown lacquer and richly embellished in gold-toned design. At the center is a lively scene of a carp leaping beneath cascading water and overhanging blossoms, rendered in an expressive pictorial style that gives the piece a strong sense of movement. Surrounding this central panel is an intricate network of fine geometric line work, which adds texture, rhythm, and an almost woven visual effect across the lacquered surface. The interior presents a striking contrast to the elaborate lid. The ceramic body is finished with a crackled glaze in a pale tone, accented by bold green splashes and free, curling brushwork in black. This softer, more spontaneous interior treatment balances the precision of the lacquer exterior and highlights the mixed-media character of the object. Altogether, it is a remarkable decorative box in which ceramic form, glazed interior, and lacquered surface come together in a highly artistic and unusual way. NOTICE

: The lot will be carefully packaged and sent by Japan Post depends on the situation.
 It takes about 3~4 weeks to receive normally.Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility.

 Sometimes Customer or delivery company in your country contact you for Customs clearance via phone or email. Please make sure that you could answer the phone. Appreciate your cooperation.
