5 set Japanese antique MAKIE fine lacquer bowls with Crescent-shaped lid painting of falcon pine tree at night, Owan black gold W5.1in/13cm

This is called a お椀 owan, and these are bowls.
In Japan, it is a container used to hold food, such as soup.
It is an item used in high-class Japanese restaurants.
It is also used in Tea ceremony 茶懐石"Chakaiseki".

The most unique and appealing feature is the lid handle, which is designed as a silver crescent moon.
The base is carved from wood, painted jet black inside and out, and adorned with beautiful gold paintings. The beautiful gold designs are rendered using traditional maki-e lacquer techniques. The hawk, once a bird of prey tamed by samurai, symbolizes courage, determination, and nobility through its sharp gaze and swift movements. The pine tree, evergreen throughout the year, represents longevity, endurance, and strong vitality, and has been considered an auspicious motif in Japan since ancient times.

A closer look reveals that the round knob on the lid is not of uniform width; instead, it elegantly portrays a large, slender moon. When a dish is served, the guest is first captivated by the tranquil scene of the moon and a straight pine tree against the black lacquer night sky. Upon lifting the lid, they discover the figure of a falcon streaking across in steam, a powerful moment of motion.The ingenuity of this design, which contrasts motion and stillness on a single lid, is truly astonishing.
