Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

During the Meiji period (18681912), Japanese artisans combined ceramic craftsmanship with traditional urushi lacquer technique. Porcelain vessels were coated in dark lacquer and decorated with gilded metallic powders and paints to create detailed motifs specifically for export to Western collectors.

These vessels feature a porcelain or stoneware core decorated with sap derived from the urushi tree. Gilded highlights were applied using gold powder or metallic pigment (maki-e technique), accompanied by black and iron-red lacquer pigments.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-applied urushi lacquer over a ceramic body, displaying slight surface irregularities and fine crackle under magnification. They frequently feature traditional Japanese flora and fauna, such as chrysanthemums and sparrows, framed by geometric geometric borders.

Lacquered porcelain vases function as high-contrast accent pieces when positioned on modern sideboards, dark wooden consoles, or marble hearths. Their dark ground and metallic detailing complement both classic traditional decor and contemporary maximalist interiors.

Dust gently using a dry, soft microfibre cloth or feather duster. Avoid using water, liquid cleaners, or harsh chemicals, as moisture and solvent exposure can degrade traditional urushi lacquer and gilt decorations.
