- Title: Japanese Maki-e Natsume Tea Caddy – Nashiji ground with floral design – with old wooden box - Description: An elegant Japanese lacquer tea caddy (natsume) decorated in fine maki-e technique. The surface features a beautiful nashiji (pear-skin ground) finish, shimmering with dense gold flakes, creating a refined and luxurious texture. Over this radiant ground, delicate floral and grass motifs (kusabana-mon) are rendered in gold and subtle tones, evoking the quiet beauty of nature and the aesthetics of the Japanese tea ceremony. The composition has a graceful balance and reflects traditional Japanese design sensibilities rooted in harmony and seasonality. The use of gold powder against the softly textured background gives the piece depth and a sophisticated presence.
