With rich, layered Urushi lacquer and hand-applied gold powder, Antique lacquerware plates in this set of twelve present seasonal botanical scenes rendered with traditional kindei technique, each plate depicting a different flower such as morning glory, chrysanthemum, nandina, nadeshiko, dandelion, or daffodil. Sized for individual sweets and wagashi, the wood base dishware sits at W 6.7in x H 0.8in and feels light yet solid at 3.9 oz per plate. The deep vintage black gloss and subtle signs of age make them suitable for tea ceremony sweets, elegant botanical art displays, or wabi sabi home decor in dim, candlelit settings beautifully.

Craftsmanship and technique

Each plate rests on a wooden core finished in repeated layers of Urushi to achieve the deep black gloss that ages with character. The gold botanical motifs were applied with kindei — gold powder mixed with lacquer — producing subtle relief and a warm shimmer under low light. Because these are hand painted tableware and traditional Japan craft items, slight variations across the set are part of the piece’s charm.


Practical use and styling

These plates are sized for individual sweets and wagashi and work well in formal tea gatherings or everyday serving of confections. As gold floral serveware, they also transition to decorative use: arrange them on a tray for elegant botanical art displays or stagger them on shelving as accent pieces for wabi sabi home decor. The light wood base keeps each plate feeling balanced while the vintage black gloss provides visual contrast for colorful sweets.


Care and handling

Handle Urushi lacquer items with care. Avoid abrasive scrubbers and prolonged soaking; clean gently with a soft, damp cloth and dry immediately. Do not use in microwaves or dishwashers. The gold kindei decoration is durable but benefits from cautious, gentle care to preserve the finish and the painted details.


Condition notes

The set is described as being in good condition considering its age. There are minor surface scratches and small impact marks consistent with normal use; these are visible in the provided photographs. No restorations or additional materials are claimed beyond the listed wood, Urushi lacquer, and gold.
