Antique Meiji Era Japanese Teacup Wooden Lacquer Ware Bowl Lidded 1860

Description

For sale is an Antique Meiji Era Japanese Wooden teacup with a lid. The teacup has a thick lacquer design of a bird on branches with Mother of Pearl accents on the lid. The inside is of the lid is decorated with a scene of Mt Fuji in the traditional red color. The cup is very old and has a slight oval shape. This is the result of wood movement and can only be seen with 100-year-old antiques. I would date it to 1850-1870. It is in very good condition with no chips or cracks. There are some minor spots of lacquer loss. The bowl is 4-3/8" in diameter and 2-1/2" tall. The top or lid is 4-1/8" in diameter and 1-3/8" tall. This type of lacquer decoration was very time-consuming and only done by the best craftsman. Because of the age and unknown material used it is not for use and for display only.
