ANTIQUE JAPANESE LACQUERWARE
1919 ~ EARLY TAISHO ERA
 
 
 
"Shikki (lacquer ware)--  is 'craft work' coated with lacquer on wood and bamboo. It has a history of over 6,000 years-- with tableware pieces found in excavated ruins.  In the old days, urushi or shikki was used in daily life because of its outstanding durability and strength against humidity and heat.  The Edo period (1600-1868) provided a backdrop for great development for Japanese lacquer and became a source of social status for the aristocratic. Each region in Japan has its own special products which eloquently reflect the local setting and nature of its people."
 
EIGHT SETTINGS OF FOUR PIECES EACH-- ANTIQUE, BEAUTIFULLY HANDCRAFTED, ELEGANT CINNABAR RED AND BLACK BOWLS WITH REAL PAINTED GOLD RIMS ON TOP(S) AND BOTTOM(S).
 
EACH PIECE OF HAND ENAMELED (URUSHI) WOODEN BOWL IS SIGNED BY THE ARTISAN/MAKER-- THE TWO LARGER PIECES ON THE BOTTOM (IN RED) AND THE TWO SMALLER PIECES ON THE INSIDE (IN BLACK)-- AS SHOWN IN PICTURES.  THE SIMPLICITY OF THE BOWLS ALONG WITH THEIR GREAT GREAT CONDITION (VERY MINOR WEAR FOR ITS ALMOST100 YEARS), BRINGS A STUNNING-- EVEN BREATH TAKING MOMENT WHEN SET UP FOR A MEAL. 
 
 THE DATE AND OTHER INFORMATION (WHICH I CANNOT READ-- OLD KANJI) IS LOCATED ON THE SIDE OF  THE HAND MADE BOX WHICH MEASURES ABOUT TWO FEET LONG (24 INCHES) X 10 1/2"  WIDE AND FOUR INCHES DEEP.  THE CONTAINER OR BOX WHICH HOLDS THE DISHES IS TONGUE DOVE TAILED. 
 
THE RICE BOWL IS 4 1/ 2  INCHES--  THE SOUP BOWL IS  4 1/8  INCHES,  NEXT BOWL (SOUP BOWL LID) IS  3 3/4  INCHES AND THE SMALLEST IS  3 1/2  INCHES IN DIAMETER.
 
IT IS AN EXQUISITE SET WITH MINIMAL DISTRACTION OF DESIGN-- which makes for an elegant table setting.
