EDO PERIOD (19TH CENTURY)

The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.

We have sought to record changes in the condition of this piece acquired after its initial manufacture.
- The rim of the box has a restored chip near one corner with an associated loss of lacquer (approx. 1.5 x 1cm.).
- There is another small chip to a corner of the lower part of the box.
- There is a small chip to the cover and some losses of hirame.
- There is some general surface wear and slight fading of the lacquer in places.
