Japanese lacquer chawan with minogame 1890-1910 Meiji
Lidded Japanese wooden bowl from the Meiji period (1890-1910), decorated with gold lacquer in hiramaki-e and takamaki-e techniques.

The decoration shows three "minogame" (the bearded turtles of Japanese mythology; a symbol of longevity).

Diameter 12 cm (5"), height 9 cm (3.5"), no mark. The chawan is in excellent state, with just the tiniest bit of lacquer missing on the rim.
