A refined and diverse collection of authentic Japanese tableware, featuring traditional lacquerware, hand-carved wooden plates, elegant maki-e decorated trays, and finely crafted bamboo baskets. Each piece represents a different aspect of Japanese craftsmanship from the late 20th century, showcasing regional styles, natural materials, and unique techniques that are increasingly appreciated by collectors across Europe. This remarkable set includes: 1. Two Large Vintage Trays (Carved Lacquer & Deep Red Lacquer) One tray features a hand-carved geometric pattern, reflecting traditional Japanese decorative motifs. The second tray is finished in deep red lacquer, with a subtle grain-like texture visible under the coating. Both trays come with their original storage boxes. 2. Five Maki-e Style Presentation Plates Elegant black lacquer plates with gold-toned botanical paintings, each featuring a different classical Japanese floral motif. Beautiful decorative pieces suitable for display or light serving. 3. Handcrafted Wood Plates (Two Sets) Three small round wooden plates with beautiful visible grain patterns. Four larger wooden saucers/dishes, each carved from natural wood with rich color variations. These pieces highlight the warmth of Japanese woodcraft. 4. Six Bamboo Serving Trays Lightweight and beautifully structured trays made of split bamboo, traditionally used for serving fruits, snacks, or as interior decoration. Their sculptural form creates a striking contrast when displayed with lacquerware. 5. Black Lacquer Tray with Mother-of-Pearl Inlay A striking round tray featuring botanical designs in raden (mother-of-pearl inlay) technique. A smaller matching plate with similar decoration is included. Minor lacquer wear and small chips are visible on the tray rim (see photos), consistent with age. Condition The set contains both unused items (with original boxes) and vintage pieces showing normal age-related wear. Some lacquer trays show minor chips or scratches—please review the photos carefully.
