Hey guys,

when I bought this it was sold as ‘unsigned’ but found this on the inside of the lid… do you think this is an artist signature or factory seal or something else?

cheers Rich

For context I have added a couple of pics of the full inside lid and base .. I have no experience with maki-e, but from reading wonder if the subdued colour pallet / pigments may place this early/pre 19th century? .. or I’m way off base ..!

Highly likely to be the lacquer artist's Mei and Kao, but it's frustratingly just on the edge of being legible.

 

Not really my area, so I do not keep books on lacquer artists... :dunno:
