Description

Vintage Japanese Lacquered Tray (SKU 25D-230-1)

Showa-era kuro-urushi serving stand with elegant vine and berry maki-e

This vintage Japanese lacquered tray is raised on four graceful legs, recalling the traditional oshiki or personal serving stand used in formal kaiseki and celebratory dining. The deep black kuro-urushi surface is framed by a subtle gilt rim, drawing the eye toward the refined central motif.

Delicate vines meander across the glossy field, their autumnal leaves rendered in shimmering gold and earthy tones, accented by bright red berries in fine maki-e work. Ideal as a functional tea or sweets tray, or displayed as a low table on an alcove shelf, it brings an understated Showa-period elegance to both Japanese and contemporary interiors.

As part of our mission to preserve and share Japanese craftsmanship, we offer antiques that were made not just to be admired, but to be used. These pieces were crafted for everyday life, and we honor their purpose by ensuring they can continue to be enjoyed and lived with today.

We use professional studio lighting to highlight the natural character of the wood. As a result, the tone may appear slightly warmer than under natural daylight.

All vintage and antique items are sold as-is. Each piece may exhibit signs of age, including scratches, wear, or minor imperfections. These are not considered defects but natural evidence of the item’s authenticity and age.
