About the Item

This elegant Japanese lacquer bowl dates to the late Edo period (19th century) and is distinguished by its refined arabesque (karakusa) design. The flowing vegetal scrollwork, executed with confident rhythm, reflects a classical decorative vocabulary widely favored in refined domestic and ceremonial contexts of the period. The bowl is fitted with a metal rim, both reinforcing the form and providing a subtle visual contrast to the warm lacquer surface. Such metal mounts were often used to enhance durability while elevating the overall aesthetic presence of lacquer wares intended for regular use. The piece retains a pleasing, well-aged surface with a soft sheen. Minor wear and surface abrasions are present, consistent with age and historical use, and contribute to the bowl’s authentic character. The bowl is accompanied by its original wooden storage box. Period: Late Edo period, 19th century Materials: Lacquered wood with metal rim Dimensions: Diameter 13.5 cm × Height 11 cm (Approx. 5.3 × 4.3 in) Weight: Bowl: 240 g (0.5 lb) With storage box: 730 g (1.6 lb) Condition: Good antique condition with minor wear and abrasions consistent with age and use. ⸻ International Buyers — Please Note: Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping costs.
