Japanese Lacquer Plate 4.29inch Set of 30 Gold Sparrow Nightingale Crane Maki-eMA362

Description

This exquisite set of 30 Wajima lacquerware small plates features the classic pine, bamboo, and plum motif (Shochikubai) alongside beautifully rendered bird designs, including cranes, sparrows, and nightingales, all crafted in gold Maki-e on a rich red lacquer base. In Japanese culture, Shochikubai represents endurance, prosperity, and celebration, while each bird carries its own symbolism—the crane for longevity, the sparrow for happiness, and the nightingale for good fortune.

The intricate gold detailing contrasts elegantly with the deep red lacquer, highlighting the exceptional craftsmanship of Wajima artisans from the Meiji to Taisho period. Designed with a slightly raised rim, these plates are perfect for serving sake, traditional sweets, small appetizers, or for use in tea ceremonies and festive occasions.

Despite their age, this lacquerware set remains in excellent condition, with the lacquer maintaining its deep luster and the gold Maki-e details well-preserved.
