A beautifully restrained black lacquer tray by Zohiko (象彦), a long-established lacquerware maker from Kyoto, Japan.
The circular tray features a deep black surface with fine concentric lines and a delicate gold-toned deer motif at its center. The subtle texture catches the light, while the small decorative detail creates a quiet focal point within the otherwise minimal composition.
With its low rim and clean silhouette, the tray can be used for serving tea, arranging small objects, or simply displayed as a decorative piece.
Its understated design allows it to sit naturally within both traditional Japanese spaces and contemporary interiors.
