Pair of brown lacquered wooden cache pots, each of rounded cylindrical form, finely decorated in gilt with luxuriant chrysanthemum sprays and foliage enriched with shimmering abalone shell inlay, the flowers and grasses flowing in an all‑round design against the warm stained ground. Retaining their original removable metal liners and offered with the original fitted wooden packing boxes, ink‑inscribed to the exterior, these elegant vessels reflect the Meiji taste for refined domestic display while celebrating the chrysanthemum as an auspicious emblem of longevity and imperial prestige.
