Description from the seller
Set of 5 antique Japanese red lacquered wooden bowls with lids – Golden pine decorative motif – Showa era
Beautiful set of 5 traditional Japanese red vermilion lacquered wooden bowls, accompanied by their matching lids.
Each lid is delicately decorated with branches of pine in gold and two golden circular motifs, offering an elegant contrast with the bright red of the lacquer.
The pine (*matsu*) symbolises longevity, prosperity and perseverance in Japan. This traditional motif is particularly appreciated during celebrations and festive meals.
The interior of the bowls is fully lacquered red, while the rims are finely outlined with a dark hue.
Estimated period: Showa era, probably between 1930 and 1960 (stylistic estimate).
Origin: Japan.
Material: lacquered wood.
Dimensions of each bowl:
- Diameter: 11.5 cm
- Height without lid: 5.7 cm
- Height with lid: 8 cm
Composition: 5 bowls and 5 lids, for a total of 10 pieces.
Condition: good overall for their age. The lacquer retains a beautiful shine and the gold decorations are well preserved. Some small lacquer losses are visible in certain areas, as shown in the photographs. Apart from these slight imperfections, the set is in good condition.
These traditional bowls, called *wan* in Japan, are particularly suited to presenting Japanese soups and dishes served at festive meals.
They also make a beautiful decorative collection for lovers of Japanese craftsmanship and antique objects.
