Includes free shipping to UK mainland
For sale, an antique Japanese Meiji period embossed antimony dragon design dish or tray. Antimony is an alloy, which easily takes impressions, has a smooth surface and does not shrink during cooling after casting. When coated with gold, silver, or copper, pieces look incredibly luxurious. This antimony dish has been lacquered to resemble bronze. Features an attractive landscape scene of pagodas overlooking a river valley with boats. The Meiji period is an era of Japanese history that extended from October 23, 1868 to July 30, 1912 when Japan transitioned from a feudal society to an industrialised nation.
