The engravings depict traditional Japanese landscapes with pagodas, boats, and mountains. The group comprises a lidded urn, a tall cylindrical vase, a spherical vase, a small decorative plate on a stand, and a lidded trinket box.

The base of one item is inscribed with ‘THE ART OF CHOKIN’, detailing that ‘Metal engravings from Japan are created by the ancient art of Chokin. Chased with gold and silver, the engravings were originally created to decorate the armament of the SAMURAI warriors. 24 KT GOLD EDGED Made in Japan’.
