Meiji Period Japanese Lacquered Gold Two-Part Box
About the Item
This very beautifully lacquered box is from the Meiji period in Japan. Made between 1864 and the end of the 19th century this small two tied box would have been a luxury item for storage or personal effects. Crafted with an all-over exterior gold fleck lacquer the interior is done in a spotted copper and black lacquer creating a dramatic personal experience reserved for the owner. Lacquer ware though not exclusively a Japanese tradition is seen at its best in Japanese objects. With many possible decorative devices and inlaid with rare, costly or even humble materials the work was time consuming and delicate work.

The round outer area is done in a cobalt blue with more goldwork designs and the interior of the box holds small painted objects as symbols of refinement and or beauty. The box is signed by the painter's hand but as yet we have not translated or matched it to a specific maker's work. Wares of this type are most often produced in the city of Kagoshima in Kyushu province during the Meiji period and reflects the export industry designed to cater to western tastes but not particularly bought by Japanese citizens.
