After his return to the United States, he began collecting Korean and later also Chinese works of art, and over the following decades became a knowledgeable, discerning, and influential collector.Condition: Overall good condition with old wear, age cracks, few small nicks and light scratches, minor losses here and there.Weight: 174.5 gDimensions: Diameter 8.3 cmWith a wood storage box, the cover with a Japanese inscription. (2)Expert's note: Recent research into the dating of carved lacquer has put forward the suggestion that boxes of this type with double key-fret decoration on the rim and landscape scenes with relatively large figures or rock formations on the cover can be dated as early as the Yuan dynasty (1279-1368). The strongest argument in favor of this early dating is the relatively recent discovery of a similar, somewhat larger box in a group of tombs near Shanghai that belonged to the Ren family, of which the latest was datable to 1351 and the earliest to 1338.Literature comparison: Compare a related box and cover, dated Yuan to early Ming dynasty and with a similar double key-fret border, illustrated by Ben Janssens, The Scholar's Desk, 6-19 November 2011, London, p. 30-31, no. 14 (price on request according to pricelist).
