Elegant Lacquer Ikebana Vase with Maki-e & Raden “Waterwheel Motif” — Showa Period < ZL45 >
A refined Japanese lacquer ikebana vase decorated with an elegant combination of maki-e (gold lacquer) and raden (mother-of-pearl inlay).
Its striking design, featuring abstracted waterwheel motifs rising in rhythmic arcs, blends traditional craft with a sophisticated modern sensibility—an excellent example of mid-20th-century lacquer artistry.
