This is a set of six Aizu-nuri lacquerware tea bowls from the late Meiji to Taisho eras, which were stored in the warehouse of my parents' home. Originally a set of 10, it is being sold as a set of six due to chips and peeling paint on four of the bowls. A separate listing is available for a beautiful set of 10 bowls of the same product, without any peeling paint. 【Size】 Diameter: Approximately 12cm Height: Approximately 5.6cm Height with lid on: Approximately 8cm Perhaps a characteristic of this era, neither the bowls nor the lids are perfectly circular. These are old items that have been carefully passed down. There are no visible cracks or chips. Although not very noticeable, there are some minor scratches and scuffs, so please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned. The original wooden box has scratches, stains, and warping due to age, and there are inscriptions on the bottom and sides (images 14-16). Wooden box size: Approximately 27 x 14 x 24cm The six lacquerware bowls are in good condition with no noticeable scratches or stains, while the original wooden box has some scratches and stains. If you need the four bowls with chips and peeling paint, please let me know and I will include them (images 17-20). ◎ Aizu-nuri refers to Aizu lacquerware, a traditional craft of the Aizu region of Fukushima Prefecture, characterized by its outstanding painting techniques, sturdy coating, and elegant decorative techniques. It is also lightweight and has excellent heat insulation and heat retention properties. Please feel free to ask any questions in the comments. Please check the photos and purchase if you understand that these are old items stored at home. I am also selling other old items under #komorebi retro.
