Description from the seller

A yellow-glazed arowana-patterned lid box produced by Nagoya Ceramics in Japan in 1985. The box lid is shaped into the shape of an "arowana" with high relief. The box body is decorated with seawater patterns and is covered with yellow glaze. The glaze color is warm and bright. The bottom of the box bears the brand logo of Nagoya Ceramics. It comes with an original wooden box. The dragon fish symbolizes "the fish leaps over the dragon gate and rises higher and higher" in Eastern culture, and is a traditional auspicious theme. This box is both decorative and practical, and can be used as a jewelry box, incense box or storage box. This model is a commemorative product of a specific year, with regular workmanship and good preservation. It is a typical representative of Japan's Showa period ceramic decorations.
