Thank you for viewing. I'm helping my aunt declutter her house and am selling some of the items. This is a set of lacquerware, possibly Tsugaru-nuri, from the photos. It has some damage and stains, so I'm offering it at a reduced price. I think it can be used in various ways, what do you think? * The backs of two plates have names on them, so I believe they were gifts. * I'm listing it as Tsugaru-nuri, but I'm not certain as I didn't purchase it myself. Only those who understand are welcome to purchase, thank you. m(__)m
