【SOLD】"Chidori (Plover) Maki-e Incense Container with Pewter Rim"
SOLD
Edo period
D5.5cm×5.5cm H3cm
This elegant incense container features a refined maki-e design of chidori (plovers) flying over stylized waves. Fine gold powder is delicately sprinkled over a black lacquer ground, creating a graceful and atmospheric composition. The interior is also adorned with plover motifs, offering a charming detail when the lid is opened.
The pewter rim provides a subtle contrast to the rich gloss of the lacquer, harmonizing beautifully with the gold decoration. Its compact, square form fits comfortably in the palm, making it suitable for tea ceremony use as well as for display.
A poetic and seasonally evocative piece that adds understated elegance to any tea setting or collection.
