I purchased it at a lacquerware exhibition, where I was told something about "electrolyzing something...", but I've completely forgotten the details. It's somewhat similar to Tsugaru-nuri lacquerware, but I believe the technique is different. It has a shimmering, golden appearance like a bioluminescent organism, which gives it a subtle yet striking elegance. Please take a look at the close-up photos. It's a solid piece made from carved wood. The material is thick; I measured the edge and it's 1.1cm thick. The inside is a solid dark red, and the bottom is black lacquer. When light hits it, the sky and trees are reflected, creating a fantastic scene. I displayed it empty, but there are some fine scratches on the bottom. It's vintage, but overall, the condition is very good. Height (without lid): Approximately 14cm (with lid): Approximately 15cm Oval (lid): Approximately 30cm x 20cm
