Description

A MOTHER-OF-PEARL INLAID LACQUER ‘DRAGONS CHASING A PEARL’ DISH, RYUKYU ISLANDS, EDO PERIOD, 18TH CENTURY
This lot is from a single owner collection and is therefore offered without reserve

Japan. Decorated in inlaid mother-of-pearl with two writhing confronting dragons, a flaming pearl in the center, the outer band are embellished with four poly-lobed cartouches housing precious objects in reserve on a lattice background, all on a black-lacquer ground.

Provenance: The Collection of Sam and Myrna Myers, Paris, France. Acquired between circa 1965-2012.
Condition: Good condition with wear and manufacturing irregularities. Expected flaking and losses to inlays. Chips, small losses, scattered nicks and scratches, rubbing, and signs of use.

Dimensions: Diameter 34.8 cm

Historical records indicate that sets of thirty trays with matching basins were sent to the Qing court in Beijing from the Ryukyu Islands at least three times during the eighteenth century. The two dragons chasing a pearl in the center of this tray have five claws on each foot, which indicates that they are imperial symbols. Large trays such as this remain in imperial collections in China and Taiwan, and it seems likely that they once belonged to the eighteenth-century sets. The dragons and other motifs are rendered with thin pieces of mother-of-pearl chosen for their bright colors. The disjunction between the heads of the dragons and the rest of their bodies is characteristic of Okinawan lacquer.

Literature comparison:
Compare a closely related, larger tray with a pair of dragons, Ryukyu Islands, 18th century, 69.3 cm wide, in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, object number 2015.500.2.4.
