This is a real nice and unique bar set.Shaker, 6 glasses and a tray.Aizu wares developed in the late 16th century, and saw a peak in their production in the Meiji period. One Aizu technique is that of etching designs or images into the surface of the lacquer, and then filling in the space with gold or other materials. Other techniques distinctive of Aizu involve the burnishing of various clays and primers in the process.I believe that the process for this bar set is the layers of thin wood and lacquer. But it does say Aizu on the back of the tray.The shaker lid is two part and have threads for screw tops.The tray measures approximately 13-1/4 x 9-1/4.Shaker measures approximately 8\" x 4\".Cups measure appoximately 4-1/4\" x 2-1/4\".
