The surface is lacquered in gold, silver and black takamaki-e with a design of leafy nasubi (eggplant). The leaves are beautifully lacquered in seido-nuri (imitating patinated bronze), with gold veins, very typical of the school of Shibata Zeshin (1807-1891). Silvered copper looped cord attachment and lining around the opening. Signed MYOSAI 苗斎. HEIGHT 22.5 cm Condition: Good condition with minor overall wear, most notably a minor loss to lacquer between one stem which leads to the leaf on the reverse. Provenance: Ancient collection Charles Cartier-Bresson (1853-1921) collection no. 701. Charles Cartier-Bresson was a textile industrialist and art collector specializing particularly in works from Japan. He is the great uncle of famous photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson.
