View More Pictures

This octagonal container is embellished with a mother of pearl design depicting a peaceful scene in which two cranes are with their chicks in a nest. The inside of the container is divided into nine compartments to hold an assortment of food. The houseware coated with natural lacquer has long been used in East Asia for its glossy beauty as well as its practicality for being strong, watertight and antibacterial. The elaborate adornment with the iridescence of intricate mother of pearl designs makes it an impressive item for collection.
