Offered here is an antique chestnut-shaped incense container (kouryo). It is a very old item, and as there is no original box or documentation, the details are unknown. However, I believe it was a very expensive item, with silver-ground lacquer on the inside and exterior rubbed lacquer with gold maki-e family crest. Over the years, the silver ground has thinned, and the exterior maki-e has worn, but it is a very tasteful piece. Size: 6cm diameter, 4cm height Included: Plain paulownia wood box Note: It has been carefully stored, and aside from what is described in the product description, I don't believe there are any obvious noticeable scratches. However, there may be inconspicuous scratches, natural fading, or dents associated with aging and storage that may have been overlooked. Please understand this and consider it. I will upload as many photos as possible, so please make your judgment based on the photos. Basically, this is a used antique item, so please forgive any claims due to minor scratches, dirt, or stains, except for major defects that would interfere with use. Also, there may be dirt, writing, stains, and discoloration on the accessories other than the product, such as the outer box and tags, but I will not mention them specifically, so please understand. In case of any discrepancies between the photos and the description, please prioritize the photos and make your own judgment. (YM6010705)
