Wow, Rich, some nice things! Any idea which castles are depicted on the tray and flask? Maybe Himeji on the tray???
Cheers,

I was told the Imperial Palace is on the tray. The one on the warmer looks like the same building. Rich A. in Pa.

It might be the Imperial Palace, Tokyo.


Imperial Palace

The image is fuzzy and low resolution, so it's hard to say. It also looks like Osaka Castle or Himeji Castle -- or other similar castles. Post a clear larger format image and I'll see if I can make it out.
