Japanese Sophistication: Important Lacquerware
A large Japanese lacquer vase with panels in the Shibayama style, signed 'Gyokukendo san Nagata Torauri saku', late nineteenth century, 65cm.

Whilst ensuring our client's anonymity we were able to arrange for the sale of the piece through a specialist London auction. The vase sold for a world record price.
