Presentation tray - Japan - Fin Meiji or Taisho - Mingei Style

This presentation tray is open, light wood - bright and lustrous glowing appearance, with a thick patina in places. Small stripes of use. Small shocks. Japanese work in the spirit of "mingei": an artistic movement born at the beginning of the 20th century, which re-energized traditional crafts, whose characteristics are to be produced anonymously, for functional use, a beauty of everyday objects. The characteristics that mingei objects must have: to be functional and not just aesthetic - simple, usual and traditional. They allow us to unite aesthetics and beauty on a daily basis in simple gestures.
