Dieses schöne Stück hat leider ein einige Macken. Der kleine Nupsi oben ist geklebt, einige Stellen wurden nachgemalt/ausgebessert. Auf Wunsch gibt es gerne noch mehr Fotos.

This antique Japanese lidded bowl from the Meiji period, around 1900, is a stunning example of traditional lacquer craftsmanship, combining aesthetics with historical functionality. Originally, such bowls were used in Japan for ceremonial purposes or to store valuable items, including food, tea, or small treasures. The bowl is made of wood and intricately decorated with large leaves that were once embellished with delicate mother-of-pearl inlays, which have mostly worn away over time, adding to the piece’s antique charm.

The condition of the bowl reflects its age and use: the handle on the lid has been glued, and several areas of the lacquer have been retouched. These signs of wear highlight the bowl’s authentic character and hint at its previous use. Despite these imperfections, the bowl remains a captivating decorative piece and a valuable collector’s item, beautifully showcasing Japanese culture and craftsmanship from the Meiji era. It’s an ideal piece for collectors of Japanese antiques or anyone looking to add a touch of history and elegance to their home.
