This auction offers a matched set of two representative Japanese lacquerware pieces, presented together as a single lot: a Yakumo-nuri (八雲塗） lacquer flower vase and an Aizu-nuri（会津塗） natural wood confectionery plate with crane motifs in gold maki-e. The flower vase features a deep black lacquer ground with hand-painted floral decoration in red and subdued natural tones. Its rounded body and slender neck create a refined silhouette, suitable both as a functional flower vessel and as a decorative interior object. Yakumo-nuri lacquerware is appreciated for its layered lacquer technique, which produces a soft depth of color and a smooth, elegant surface. The confectionery plate is crafted from natural wood and finished with durable Aizu lacquer. It is decorated with flying cranes rendered in gold, set against stylized waves. The crane is a traditional Japanese symbol of longevity, prosperity, and good fortune. The gently undulating rim and raised feet enhance both stability and visual harmony. This listing is offered as a set, allowing the buyer to appreciate two distinct regional lacquer traditions together, making it ideal for collectors or refined Japanese-style interiors. Based on design characteristics, materials, and original accompanying documentation, this set is estimated to date from the Showa period (昭和時代, approximately 1960s–1980s / Western calendar). Artist / Maker Information Yakumo-nuri is a traditional lacquerware style originating in Yakumo Town, Shimane Prefecture. The techniques were established in the early Meiji period (明治初年 / late 19th century, Western calendar), combining classical lacquer craftsmanship with distinctive color expression. Each piece is finished by skilled artisans through repeated lacquering and polishing, resulting in a surface that develops greater depth and luster over time. Aizu-nuri, produced in Aizu-Wakamatsu, Fukushima Prefecture, has a history of over 400 years. Renowned for its durability and decorative maki-e techniques, Aizu lacquerware has long been used for both daily utensils and ceremonial items. The crane motif seen here is a classic auspicious design widely used in traditional Japanese art. Size (Approx.) Vase: approx. H 21 × W 11 × D 11 cm, approx. 285 g Vase Box: approx.
