The Blacksmith Posted September 4 Report Posted September 4 @ROKUJURO They are indeed! My mother was Danish and started collecting them years ago. Then after I moved to Norway I saw a couple in a shop and bought them as the motives had meaning to me, but it sort of snowballed from there. I don't collect them as such, but I do have a few. Oldest is 1927. As is often the case, I do not have space to display them where I live now, so only have about six up on the walls. 2 1 Quote
Nazar Posted September 5 Report Posted September 5 Just stambled upon this tray on Catawiki. Source: https://www.catawiki.com/en/l/106428953-tray-cloisonne-with-samurai-sword-with-tsuba-adorned-with-flowers 5 Quote
Matsunoki Posted September 5 Report Posted September 5 What a strange design combination. The enamel is fairly coarse and with brass wires it is most likely early Meiji. Never seen similar. At first you only see two tsuba? 3 Quote
The Blacksmith Posted September 5 Report Posted September 5 Had you not mentioned it, I would have missed the third one too! What an odd piece indeed. 2 Quote

Yes, the third tsuba doesn't instantly jump in one's eyes. 6 hours ago, Spartancrest said: Sorry this tray is "old news" see page 7 Posted July 5, 2024 Enamel tray with tsuba motifs https://www.catawiki...adorned-with-flowers Dale, sorry for not double checking it. 1 1 Quote

Spartancrest Posted Thursday at 12:36 AM Author Report Posted Thursday at 12:36 AM (edited) https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/206546802481 Tiny but expensive “Japanese Obidome Made from Sword Fitting" USD~ $135.00 I doubt very much this was ever made from a sword fitting - it is far too small even for a tanto - still a nice curiosity.
