Japanese Lacquer Pair of Takatsuki Confectionery Stands 10.2inch Gold Wave&Crane MA743
This is a beautiful pair of takatsuki (elevated stands) crafted in Wajima lacquerware during the Taisho–Showa period. Made of wood and finished in a deep, glossy lacquer, each stand is decorated with an elegant gold and silver makie design featuring waves and cranes. In Japanese symbolism, cranes represent longevity and good fortune, while waves evoke vitality and the ever-changing flow of life, making this set both visually striking and rich in meaning. The craftsmanship showcases fine detailing, balanced composition, and the high-quality finish for which Wajima lacquerware is renowned. Traditionally used for serving sweets or ceremonial offerings, these stands also make impressive display pieces in a home or gallery setting. The pair comes complete with their original wooden storage box, ensuring preservation and enhancing their collectible value. Well-preserved with light wear consistent with age, they are ideal for collectors of Japanese lacquerware and cultural artifacts.
