Subject:Japanese Hibachi wood with copper
Posted By: StuffIVeFound Sun, Apr 09, 2017 IP: 2602:0306:c4b7:1810:
Picked this up at a yard sale and was wondering what it was and what it may be worth if anything?

The bottom seems to be sealed using wooden nails. It has painted metal
Or ceramic flowers inlayed on it.

Thanks in advance for any info!

Hi
It is a Paulownia (Kiri ) wood hibachi with lacquer work inlay. The bottom is a different type of wood that appears to be cryptomeria (sugi). Wooden pins are typical in Japanese joinery . The sugi base may be a repair. Colours are a bit bright so probably early 20th c

Thank You Sue.

What type of value would you apply to it?

Hi,
I don't have recent knowledge on values, but based on my past experience I would think up to $100.
