Up for sale is a beautiful, vintage mid-century Japanese lacquerware serving or vanity tray (obon). This piece features a striking, shimmering metallic gold dust background paired with a minimalist, hand-painted white chrysanthemum (kiku) design.
The underside features a matte black finish stamped with the vintage import mark "FOREIGN", a stamp commonly used on mid-20th-century goods imported into Europe/the UK. It is a fantastic collectible piece of mid-century Asian export art, perfect for use as a perfume tray, trinket dish, or display item.
