Elegant vintage Japanese serving tray by the iconic designer brand Hanae Mori, featuring a refined black lacquer-style finish decorated with golden maple leaves, sakura blossoms, and delicate butterflies. The design beautifully reflects the sophisticated aesthetic that made Hanae Mori internationally famous — combining traditional Japanese seasonal motifs with timeless luxury and femininity.

Hanae Mori, often called “Madame Butterfly,” was one of Japan’s most celebrated fashion designers and the first Japanese woman admitted to the prestigious Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture in Paris. Beyond haute couture fashion, the brand also produced elegant interior and lifestyle items inspired by Japanese artistry and nature.

This tray embodies the atmosphere of late Showa and early Heisei Japanese design, when decorative lacquer-style household wares became popular for tea serving, hospitality, and refined interior decoration. The combination of momiji maple leaves and butterflies symbolizes seasonal beauty, transformation, and the appreciation of fleeting moments deeply rooted in Japanese aesthetics.

Perfect as a serving tray, tea accessory, display piece, or decorative accent for japandi, cottage, or traditional Japanese interiors.
