A late Edo period footed tray/offering stand. This is a very elegant piece, featuring a vermilion lacquer finish with gold arabesque patterns. It can be used not only as a small tray, but also as an incense burner stand, flower stand, or display stand. The inscription on the original wooden box reads: "December, Year of the Rat, Genji 1" (1864) "Compensation: 11,500 mon" "Aichi Fushigetaka (name that can be read)" This suggests that 11,500 mon was paid by a person named Fushigetaka from Aichi in 1864 (Genji 1). This item has a sense of history. ■Size (approx.)
