Thank you for viewing. This is a 5-piece set consisting of: Yamada Heiando, purveyor to the Imperial Household Agency, Dragon Series hand-painted gold maki-e plate; a pair of black lacquerware katakuchi small bowls; and a pair of Edo Kiriko sapphire blue overlay champagne glasses. Sizes: Maki-e Plate: Approximately 25.5cm in diameter x 2.5cm in height Kiriko Glasses: Approximately 5cm in diameter at the mouth x 19cm in height Katakuchi Bowl: Approximately 10cm in diameter x 4.6cm in height *Please forgive any slight size discrepancies due to amateur inspection. Yamada Heiando, established in 1919, is a lacquerware specialty store that has supplied lacquerware to the Imperial Household Agency for imperial ceremonies and formal occasions. It has built deep relationships with temples and shrines such as Ise Jingu Shrine and Naritasan Shinshoji Temple, and has created tableware that embraces modern life while preserving traditional techniques. Among them, the "Dragon Series" plate features a powerful and gorgeous design with a motif of a dragon dancing in the sky. The gold maki-e is applied to the jet-black vessel, and each piece is hand-painted by artisans, creating a unique sense of dynamism. In addition, the black-lacquered katakuchi small bowls have gold accents on the katakuchi portion, and the contrast of black and gold, like the plate, highlights the classical beauty. They are versatile tableware that looks great with both Japanese and Western cuisine. Edo Kiriko is known as auspicious glassware with traditional auspicious patterns. It features a delicate design with a combination of the neat Yarai pattern and the powerful Sasano-ha (bamboo leaf) pattern in a vibrant sapphire blue color. It has a moderate size and stability, and is easy to hold, which is also attractive. It combines decoration and practicality, and makes a statement on the Japanese dining table, including kaiseki cuisine. For the New Year, by incorporating Kiriko and lacquerware along with red and white dishes and celebratory side dishes, you can make your festive table even more elegant. Please enjoy these masterpieces of tradition at your New Year's celebration. The plate is unused and has been stored in its box, so it is in relatively good condition. There are some minor scratches on the bottom of the katakuchi bowls. Please understand that these are used items stored at home, and we appreciate your purchase if you like vintage items. The plate will be placed in its original box and carefully packed with cushioning material for shipping. Immediate purchase is welcome. Thank you.
