Hand-crafted from wood and finished in a warm vermilion-red lacquer, the tray features carefully modelled leaf veins and gently undulating edges that create a natural, organic appearance. The sculpted frog adds a playful and distinctive accent. The underside is finished in black lacquer and bears a red Sogado seal mark. Sogado (祖雅堂) is associated with traditional Japanese lacquerware, including Echizen lacquerware from Fukui Prefecture. This tray could be used for serving tea utensils, sweets or small objects, or displayed as a decorative stand. Good vintage condition, with age-related rubbing, minor blemishes and surface wear. The black-lacquered underside has visible scuffs from use and storage.
