About the Item

Beautiful Japanese Lacquered Tray with Raden Abalone Shell Decoration This beautiful Japanese lacquered tray is a stunning example of Japanese craftsmanship. It is made of high-quality wood and is decorated with abalone shell inlay, a technique known as raden. Raden is a centuries-old Japanese art form that involves inlaying mother-of-pearl, abalone shell, or other materials into a lacquer surface. The technique originated in China and was introduced to Japan in the Nara period (710-794). Raden was used to decorate a variety of objects, including furniture, boxes, and trays. This particular tray measures 37 cm (14.5 inches) in diameter and 2 cm (0.8 inch) in height. It weighs 500 g (1 lb). It is in good condition with very minor abrasions. The tray is from the circa second half of the 20th century. It is a unique and special piece that would make a wonderful addition to any collection. It is a timeless classic that will be enjoyed for years to come. International Buyers – Please Note: Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying. SKU: ZB37
