This is a beautiful Meiji era Japanese Silver Ikebana bowl. The work is fabulous. Even the woven silver lid is sculpted to a bamboo design. It is an extremely rare design. There were only a few like this ever made and this is the only one I have seen. The bowl and lid are in excellent condition and the raised relief work is crisp.
