Description:
Fifteen Japanese lacquer ware (urushi) Sake cups, together with a fine lacquer ware table & bark basket, [17], all finely painted with various traditional designs, contemporary historical research indicates that the knowledge of urushi lacquer technology was introduced from china to Korea, & from there to Japan. Though Japan had also been using lacquer in ancient times, from that time onward, as Japanese culture developed, so did its use of lacquer and its application to bowls, plates, trays, sake cups, boxes, combs & other objects. As Japanese civilization developed, lacquer ware techniques continuously incorporated ever more refined styles. Provenance: Todd Barlin collection. Table 19 cm, basket 13 cm, diameter 9 cm to 15 cm
