Japanese Silver Trinket Box with Full Moon & Grass, c. 1900
About the Item
This Meiji-period trinket box exemplifies Japanese refinement in all crafts. Fashioned of silver with a hardwood interior, the small box has a clean-lined rectangular form with rounded corners and a thin lip where the lid meets the base. The lid is etched with tall grasses swaying before a full moon, a motif that represents the Japanese moon-viewing festival Tsukimi.
A celebration of end-of-season harvests, Tsukimi is observed by gathering with loved ones beneath the harvest moon, surrounded by pampas grass and offerings of dango (rice dumplings). Simple yet effective, the tranquil scene is expertly conveyed through just a few graceful lines. Though lightly aged by an antique patina, the silver casing retains a soft metallic sheen, contrasted by a beautifully dark hardwood lining the interior.
Artisan maker's mark and "Pure Silver" mark stamped on silver foot rim.
