Description: | This little cup is for drinking sake, a type of rice wine. It is made of black lacquer and decorated on the inside with a beautiful design of a moon and grasses. The outer decoration shows three geese in grey, red and gold lacquer. The simplicity of its shape and decoration is characteristic of 18th-century Japanese design. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | beyond the North East art other cultures date | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
