Description

Vintage Japanese Lacquerware Bowl (SKU 25D-402-1)

Showa-era maroon urushi bowl with elegant gold maki-e grass motif

This vintage Japanese lacquerware bowl features a deep maroon exterior contrasted with a glossy black interior, embodying the refined simplicity of mid-Showa design. The softly flared, rounded profile gives it a generous presence on the table while remaining light in the hand, as traditional wooden urushi pieces should.

Along the outer wall, a flowing gold maki-e design of stylized grasses adds a subtle decorative accent that catches the light without overwhelming the form. Ideal as a serving bowl for rice, nimono, or sweets, or as a display piece in a tokonoma or on a lacquer tray, it brings an authentic touch of 1950s Japanese craftsmanship to any interior.

A refined piece of vintage Japanese lacquerware that pairs beautifully with both traditional and modern table settings.

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.
