AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This is a luxurious round lacquer tray, decorated with maki-e (gold lacquer) work, made during the Meiji era.

This piece employs advanced techniques such as "honkin makie," which uses gold powder lavishly, and "nashiji," which creates a texture resembling the skin of a pear.

The design features a "young pine tree" motif, which is considered a symbol of growth and longevity, and is adorned with flying birds, making it an auspicious design.

As this is an antique item, there may be small chips, scratches, etc.
