SILVER BOX WITH CHRYSANTHEMUMS AND BIRD. JAPAN, 20TH CENTURY

An exquisite Japanese silver box with tray, delicately engraved with blooming chrysanthemums and a perched bird on a branch. The ornamentation follows the tradition of Japanese botanical aesthetics, emphasizing longevity, purity, and serenity.
The lid is densely covered with engraved chrysanthemum blossoms, centered on a multilayered floral motif. In the upper left corner, a finely rendered bird adds a meditative accent.
In the lower right area, the piece bears the artist’s signature, presumed to read “山利” (Yamatoshi or Sanri), attesting to its handcrafted nature and individual authorship.

The box comprises three elements: a lid, an internal insert, and a tray. All parts are crafted from high-grade silver and black lacquered wood. The construction allows for practical and ceremonial use—ideal for storing incense, jewelry, or calligraphy tools—and was likely intended as a refined gift piece. The tray completes the ensemble and reinforces the set’s prestige.

Marks: Vertical Japanese hallmark with characters 精製 (“pure silver”) on the lid’s rim. Artists engraved signature on the front surface.
