拍品描述
A RARE MINIATURE LACQUER SUZURIBAKO (WRITING BOX) WITH AUTUMN GRASSESJapan, 19th century, Edo period (1615-1868)Of miniature rectangular form with rounded corners, exquisitely decorated in gold and silver takamaki-e and hiramaki-e on a lustrous roiro ground. The kabusebuta (overhanging) lid features a delicate arrangement of autumn grasses and wildflowers, including pampas grass (susuki), bush clover (hagi), and chrysanthemums (kiku), all classic motifs from the Seven Grasses of Autumn (aki no nanakusa). The interior is finished in roiro.The interior contains a miniature suzuri (inkstone), an inkstick, silver suiteki (water dropper), and two brushes.SIZE 0.6 x 2.9 x 3.4 cmCondition: Excellent condition with only minor wear.Provenance: The Saoud bin Mohammed Ali Al-Thani Foundation (with a label on the underside ‘13535 BO’.). Saoud bin Mohammed Ali Al-Thani (1966-2014) was a Qatari prince who served as minister of Culture, Arts and Heritage. By the turn of the 21st century, Sheikh Saoud had established an international reputation as an avid art collector, both for his own collection as well as those of several state-owned museums he oversaw in Qatar. Sheikh Saoud’s legacy as a collector is remarkable, as he laid the foundations of the major collections of Qatar Museums. In 2021, the Museum of Islamic Art hosted an exhibition in tribute to the legendary collector, titled A Falcon's Eye: Tribute to Sheikh Saoud Al-Thani.Miniature suzuribako are exquisitely crafted, small-scale versions of traditional Japanese writing boxes, often measuring just a few centimeters across. While full-sized suzuribako were used to store inkstones and writing tools, these miniature versions were mostly not functional but instead served as artistic curiosities. Popular during the Edo and Meiji periods, especially for export, they showcased the exceptional skill of lacquer artists on a miniature scale, often featuring intricate maki-e, togidashi, and inlay work, and reflecting themes of literary elegance, seasonal beauty, or scholarly refinement.Auction comparison:Compare a related miniature suzuribako (writing box) of a miniature set, dated to the late 19th century, the suzuribako measuring 5.1 x 4.4 cm, at Christies, Japanese Art including Property of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, lot 381 (sold for USD 9,000).
