- Title An Elegant Japanese Maki-e Lacquer Rectangular Tray with Silvered Rim - Short description of the item and its origin A fine and rare Japanese rectangular lacquer tray, beautifully adorned with exquisite maki-e decoration and finished with a classic silver-toned metal rim. This rectangular tray captures the timeless elegance of traditional Japanese lacquerware. The surface features meticulous maki-e (sprinkled gold powder) decoration, depicting a poetic branch of blooming camellias (tsubaki) with finely detailed petals and leaves, offset by a delicate scattering of gold dust (maki-bokashi) against a rich, lustrous black lacquer background. The execution of the maki-e showcases remarkable depth and texture, catching the light beautifully from different angles. Enhancing its refined structure, the tray is finished with a metal-mounted rim (fukurin) in a polished silver tone, providing a striking contrast to the warm tones of the lacquer and ensuring both durability and a high-status aesthetic. This piece serves as an exceptional example of Japanese craftsmanship, perfect for displaying tea utensils, scholar's objects, or as a standalone centerpiece. - Condition In overall good condition with minor surface wear and natural patination to the metal rim consistent with age. There are minor lacquer flakes/losses to the corners of the tray. No major chips or restorations. Note on the rim: The metal rim has not been tested for silver purity and is sold as a silver-toned metal mount (fukurin). - Accompaniment Accompanied by a plain wooden storage box. - Dimensions (in cm) Height：2cm Width：18cm Depth：27cm Weight：180g - Shipping method DHL Express Thank you.
