This a a very handsome miniature Japanese lacquer kogo – covered box – that has an unusual shape in that it is an oblong oval with two curved indented sections in two sides that give it a striking appearance. The entire kogo has a nashiji sprinkled gold base – known as pear skin – and then there are low relief makie flowers on the tops and sides. The base and inside are solid nashiji gold lacquer. The kogo measures 1 7/8” long by 1 ½” wide by 1 ¾” high. It is in superb condition with no nicks or cracks. We date it to the golden age of Japanese lacquer, Meiji period, circa 1880s-1910. As fine a miniature lacquer kogo as has been seen. |
