Short description of the item and its origin
This lot comprises two exquisite pieces of traditional Japanese lacquerware, showcasing the distinct aesthetics of the Showa to Heisei era (circa 1950–2000).
Kamakura-bori Peony Dish: A stunning example of Kamakura carving (Kamakura-bori), featuring a deeply carved peony motif in vibrant red against a sophisticated black lacquer background. The intricate relief work highlights the artisan's skill in wood carving and lacquer application.
Vermilion High-Footed Saucer: A graceful, solid vermilion (shu-iro) lacquer stand with a high foot. Its minimalist design and glossy finish make it a perfect complement to the carved dish or an elegant standalone piece for tea ceremonies.
