This is likely an old Kyo-nuri lacquerware bowl. It features a vibrant, time-worn brushed pattern in vermilion, with elegant yoraku maki-e (sprinkled design). The yoraku and red bead designs, often seen in continental ceramics, have been incorporated in a Japanese style, making it a very interesting piece. As shown in the images, there is some fading on the inside and the rim, as well as minor scratches. The size is 12.8 cm in diameter and 8 cm in height. There are 5 in stock. Please understand that these are old items.
