Japanese lacquered tray

My new tray

I acquired this at the 'Cornubia' garage sale. I tried to sell it for 3 hours and no one was interested. After spending so much time saying how lovely it was, I realised that it actually was quite lovely. So I decided it deserved to be with me.
I now realise that this type of  lacquer ware is what was one known as 'Japanned'.  It was very popular around the turn of the last century- 1800-1900.
