Description

This exquisite vintage Japanese serving tray from the 1950s is a beautiful example of Kamakura Bori, a traditional style of carved lacquerware originating in Japan's Kamakura period. The tray features a finely detailed carving of a tai (sea bream), a revered fish in Japanese culture symbolizing prosperity, good fortune, and celebration.

The deep red lacquer finish highlights the meticulous hand-carved details of the fish, from its elegant scales to the natural contours of its form, creating both depth and texture. Kamakura Bori is known for its durability and rich aesthetic, achieved by carving wood and overlaying it with multiple layers of lacquer to bring out its sculptural quality.

Perfect as a serving platter or decorative piece, this tray embodies both beauty and function. It’s a timeless artifact that reflects Japanese artistry, craftsmanship, and cultural tradition, making it a unique addition to any home or collection.
