Antique Japanese Porcelain Lidded Bento Box
This is an antique Japanese porcelain 4-tiered rounded square bento box, or jubako, with a rounded top lid. It is handpainted with red, gold, and black, and features the image of a metallic gold dragon wrapping around the box while soaring through the clouds. The bottom tier has simply shaped arches to make four legs and add visual interest.
We acquired this item from an old family estate sale in Nagoya, Japan
