Description from the seller
Glossy oval Japanese wooden tray – Hand-painted grapes and grapevine leaves – Shōwa era – With wooden box
Elegant large oval Japanese tray, made of wood with a red-brown lacquered finish and a black rim.
The surface features a magnificent decor of grape clusters and vine leaves, entirely hand-painted.
The grapes, in red and orange tones, are accompanied by large dark green leaves with veins delicately highlighted in gold hues.
The red-brown background reveals the natural wood grain, creating a beautiful textured and deep effect.
The botanical composition, with flowing, harmonious lines, evokes abundance and autumn harvests.
The tray has a slightly raised black rim and a black underside.
Origin: Japan.
Era: Shōwa (1926–1989), probably 1950s–1980s (estimate).
Material: wood with lacquer finish.
Decoration: hand-painted representation of grapes and grape leaves.
Tray dimensions: 52 × 34 × 3.7 cm.
Wooden box dimensions: 55 × 37 × 7 cm.
Condition:
Nice overall condition of the painted decoration, with some signs of aging.
Some black finish losses are visible on parts of the edge and underside of the tray, exposing the wood. This is solely wear of the coating: the wood itself shows no shine loss or material defect.
Please refer to the detailed photographs.
Sold with its wooden box.
A beautiful piece of Japanese decorative art, ideal for a collection of traditional lacquers or as a large decorative tray.
