A very nice and fairly large mid-century lacquerware pill-shaped shallow tray originating from Japan, produced using age-old traditional methods, accented with black rims and textured bark-like sides. Beautifully gentle shapes with a natural touch, a fairly common design but especially lovely to see undecorated. As with all lacquerware there is a particularly satisfying tactility when using and handling them - I personally wish it was a more common practice to produce and utilise these materials in the so-called 'Western World' today.
Retaining its original manufacturer patent sticker. With some surface marks, all commensurate with age and use.
Shown alongside a set of four matching dishes and pair of bowls, all available.
