This exquisite antique Japanese tobacco humidor was crafted in classic Nippon style with raised moriage beadwork, enameled accents and fine gilt detailing. It’s hexagonal in shape and lidded. It’s hand-painted subject depicts a pair of swans swimming on a pond in a serene setting with trees in the background. I love the color and raised texture of the hand painted trees. The lid has a raised dark gold and brown pattern with intricate beading. The incredible detail in this piece sets it apart from others. It’s marked on the bottom with the green M inside a wreath, a mark used by the Morimura Brothers for export porcelain circa 1911 and 1921. Originally used as a tobacco humidor, it could have many other uses today as well. It measures approximately 4″ tall and is 4 1/4″ in diameter across the top. It’s in excellent condition, with no chips, cracks or repairs. The colors are still rich and beautiful. A very fine piece that is hard to find today in this beautiful condition.
