A highly rare, Japanese-made lacquer vase from 1994. This piece exudes a quiet elegance and refined dignity, featuring intricate maki-e designs in gold on a deep black lacquer finish. It bears a vermilion seal (signature) on the front and gold lettering on the back, suggesting it was made as a commemorative or presentation item. It is rarely found in general circulation and is a highly valuable collector's item. Perfect for Japanese art and crafts, tokonoma displays, and creating a space of formality. Recommended for those seeking a one-of-a-kind item. *Please note that this is a vintage item and may have age-related stains, dust, minor scratches, and deterioration.
