Note du spécialiste

The motif of scrolling peony is one of the characteristics of the mother-of-pearl inlaid lacquer works from Joseon Dynasty and had been depicted on many of lacquer works. For a similar tray with the same design in the collection of Metropolitan Museum, see J. Watt, et al., East Asian Lacquer: The Florence and Herbert Irving Collection, 1991, p. 117, co. 152.
