Antique Oriental Danju Jubako Koedo Stacking Box 4-Tier Matching Lid Lidded Ceramic Food Storage Tower stacking bowls nesting dish Japanese

Available from a wonderful estate on the East Coast is this 4-tiered, hand painted Set-ware storage tower. The entire set is made of ceramic and when nested together create this beautiful piece of art – although it is still useable for food storage & serving, it is also perfect for display alone or as a practical piece for storing small treasures; bathroom necessities, office supplies, hair accessories or how about a unique jewelry box (you may want to drop in a piece of velvet for that option)!

From “veniceclayartists.com” - The Japanese jubako box is a practical means to stack the bento trays making them more compact and keeping food warm. The correct term for the porcelain boxes is actually “DANJO”, while “JUBAKO” refers to the lacquered trays.

The front of the piece shows a crane; In Japan, the crane is a mystical creature and is believed to live for a thousand years. As a result, in the Japanese, Chinese and Korean culture, the crane represents good fortune and longevity. The Japanese refer to the crane as the “bird of happiness”, while the sides continue unassumingly with the scenery. The initial design appears to be transfers or stamps that were then hand painted. The back displays two markings…… a large hand painted symbol done in black and a red square stamp. (I have tried several translation sites and none have recognized all the markings completely.)

The unit measures just about 10” in height x 5-1/2” square. The molded feet raise the base piece about ½” off the table. Each of the 3 center dishes are just about 2” high and have a slight arch in the center (to keep juices from pooling). All the pieces have a slight lip to nestle each piece.

I have not been able to get anything specific on a date. However I have been told that the production quality and the absence of a country of origin or import marking could quite possibly date the piece prior to the McKinley Tariff Act of 1890 – what a treasure this could be!!!

The entire tower is in Wonderful Antique Condition! There are no chips, cracks, crazing or repairs.

Whether for gift giving or keeping for yourself, this beautiful set will be a lovely addition to any collection!!
