AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A five-tiered lacquered stacking food box 重箱 (jûbako), complete with two covers.
The exterior is finished in glossy lacquer with gold fundame 粉溜 rims, while the interiors are lacquered in vermilion red. The exterior was originally black lacquer, but through prolonged exposure and age it has gradually discoloured to a warm brown tone. This contrast is particularly visible on one of the covers, where the original darker black lacquer remains more apparent.
The set consists of five stacking tiers and two fitted covers, all of matching rectangular form.
Period: Japan – Meiji period (1868–1912).
Dimensions:
Height 43.2 cm, Width 24.4 cm, Depth 23 cm.
In very good antique condition with traces of age and use, including some small chips and losses to the lacquer, particularly along the edges and corners. Please refer to the photographs for a clear impression of the condition.
Complete with its original signed and sealed wooden storage box 共箱 (tomobako), finished in red lacquer.
