This is a fine late early Meiji lacquered box in an oval shape. The kogo has a design of floral scrolls with vines, fully opened flowers and buds. There are three mons (Japanese crests) - one on the top and two on the sides. The design is done in makie gold lacquer with a ground of nashiji(pear skin) lacquer. The interior is a soft reddish orange lacquer and has a gold makie design of water plants on a winding stream. The kogo measures 4 1/8" long by 2 3/4" wide by 1 1/2" deep. The lacquer has slightly dulled with time, but could easily be polished. We make it a practice to never interfere with natural patina. There are no cracks or chips. We date it to the early Meiji period, circa 1870s-1890s |
