Wooden Urushi Tray from Japan, Meiji Period (1868-1912)

Beautiful lacquered wooden urushi bowl. The inside is lacquered in an intense vermilion color, and the outside is black.

Due to its age and aging (Meiji period), the wood has warped, giving the bowl a beautifully organic appearance. A unique, decorative interior piece with a timeless character that tells a story. An authentic piece of Japan in your home.

There is a small, non-disruptive crack visible at the edge.

Dimensions: height 3.5 cm, width 37 cm, depth 35 cm.
