The collection showcases the exquisite, highly skilled craftsmanship of historical Japanese artisans. The decoration features intricate relief work and fine gold ornamentation. While the exact gold content cannot be confirmed, there is potential for real gold in the decorated pieces, which may be recognizable to restorers or dealers familiar with such wares.
