From an old family collection, carefully stored in its original box. Antique gold maki-e, inlaid with mother-of-pearl, a sake cup washer, lacquer, large tea bowl, with weeping cherry blossoms, chrysanthemums, and camellias. This is a maki-e sake cup washer demonstrating the brilliant artistry of the Meiji to Taisho eras. The vessel's form has graceful curves without any distortion, and the meticulously painted flowers, including cherry blossoms in full bloom across the entire surface, are exquisitely rendered. The skillful pictorial expression using hiramaki-e is truly magnificent, a stunning and luxurious piece that captivates everyone's eyes. This is a masterpiece of early modern maki-e, produced to order for a wealthy person of the time. Please take your time to examine the images and appreciate the beauty of this piece. It was originally housed in a fitted box, but due to damage to the box, it will be shipped in a different box.
