【Product details】
This Meiji period or later tray is crafted with a woven bamboo-style surface and a lacquer finish. Along its thick rim, delicate bird motifs are rendered in maki-e, accented with nashiji speckling.
Maki-e is a traditional Japanese decorative technique where gold or silver powder is sprinkled onto wet lacquer to produce intricate designs. Nashiji employs a similar method, using gold or silver flecks to achieve a pear skin-like texture, offering a unique shimmer and depth to the surface.
The tray comes with its original wooden box, inscribed 籠組盆 (Kago-kumi bon, woven-style tray).
Signs of age include scuffs and minor scratches. The box shows a warped lid and some stains. Please refer to the photos for details of the condition.
Dimensions: approx. H 3 cm W 39.7 cm D 22 cm
