Fine Edo period 18thC Japanese Gold Lacquer Suzeribako (Writing Box)
This is a Extremely Fine 18th C Japanese Suzeribako or Writing Box exquisitely decorated both inside and out. The scene on the top depicts cranes flying over a waterwheel.

The inside has a scene of duck the drake showing of to two females. There are two removable brush trays and a bronze water dropper or Suiteki the inkstone is not present. Condition is mostly very good however there is a thin crack to the inside edge of the lid and also a stable one to the base where the side joins the last two photo's show the inside and outside of the lid which has been professionally restored at some point, these don't greatly effect the display quality of the piece. All in all a stunning 18th century tour de force of the art of lacquer work.
