Japanese Lacquer Trays - Set of 5 Antique Wooden Trays with Black Obon Box

This set of Japanese lacquer trays offers an authentic glimpse into traditional Kyoto craftsmanship. These Japanese lacquer trays, originally used by geisha to serve sake and refreshments, combine elegant design with practical use, delivering a refined serving experience. Crafted from wood with black lacquerware and accented by red edge design, each tray showcases exquisite wood grain that adds a natural charm to your table. The set includes five antique wooden trays housed in a sturdy Japanese obon box designed for secure carrying and storage.

Each tray measures approximately 1cm high, 21cm wide, and 20cm deep (0.4in × 8.3in × 7.9in), weighing about 105g (3.7oz), while the carrying box is 34cm high, 22.5cm wide, and 23cm deep (13.4in × 8.9in × 9.1in), weighing 2100g (73.9oz). The lacquer serving set features slight warping and some lacquer peeling due to age but remains fully functional and ready for immediate use. Metal fittings secure the box lid, though the locking pin is missing.

This set of five trays embraces the essence of Japanese vintage tableware, combining ornate serving trays with traditional tea tray aesthetics for an authentic presentation. The black lacquerware base contrasts beautifully with the red edge design for a striking appearance that enhances any tea ceremony or casual serving.
