Beautiful Japanese Lacquered Tray Raden Abalone Shell Decoration

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.
