A FINE LACQUER ‘NARCISSUS’ KOGO (INCENSE BOX)

Japan, c. 1880, Meiji period (1868-1912)

Published: Jahss, Melvin H. and Betty Jahss (1971) Inro and Other Miniature Forms of Japanese Lacquer Art, p. 211, figs. 130 & 131.

Of square form, bearing a highly polished gold kinji ground with a net pattern, finely decorated with gold and silver takamaki-e and hiramaki-e. The kabusebuta (overhanging) lid depicts five neatly cut and tied narcissus plants, their leaves curling gracefully.

SIZE 2.5 x 7.5 x 7.5 cm

Provenance: Ex-collection Melvin and Betty Jahss, New York. Max Rutherston, London, 2015. From the collection of Eva & Aubrey Sweet, Melbourne, Australia, acquired from the above. A copy of the valuation from Max Rutherston, dated 5 May 2015, stating a purchase price of GBP 3,200 (or approx. EUR 5,000 converted and adjusted for inflation at the time of writing) and confirming the above, accompanies the lot. Eva and Aubrey Sweet devoted over six decades to the formation of a distinguished private collection of Asian art, with particular strength in Chinese jade, Japanese lacquer, and netsuke. Their collecting began in the 1950s and was refined through sustained travel, scholarship, and long associations with leading dealers, curators, and artists internationally. Aubrey, a Melbourne physician who also studied acupuncture in Beijing, and Eva developed a discerning connoisseurship that balanced intuitive appreciation with systematic study, supported by an extensive reference library and active participation in scholarly circles. They acquired works of historic importance as well as contemporary pieces by artists such as Susan Wraight and Unryuan (Kitamura Tatsuo), demonstrating a commitment both to tradition and to the continuity of craft. The collection, housed in their Melbourne residence and affectionately referred to by the family as “the Museum,” stands as a testament to their lifelong dedication to the aesthetic and cultural values of Asian art.
Condition: Very good condition with minor wear including a few tiny nicks to the cover.
