JAPANESE EXPORT SILVER TRAY

A Japanese Export silver rectangular tray- the perfect size for a three piece tea set.

The raised double sided border is finely hand engraved with trailing flowers – all with auspicious meanings

Lotus for strength and resilience

Plum blossom for new beginnings

Peonies for happiness, wealth, romance

The centre of the tray is lightly hammered which means that will not show every scratch

The tray was retailed by Musashya of Yokohama.

Much of the Japanese Export silver was retailed through Yokohama and the name of Musashya is associated with Samurai swords and even today with steel knives.
