The sculpture is of high quality, the artist has made no mistakes, the volumes are perfect, the drawings harmonious and the whole exudes a feeling of quiet calm .

We could think of an illustrious destination but there is no signature. Qing period, early 19th cent...

A beautiful example of Shigaraki pottery—the result of techniques perfected over centuries by dedicated artisans residing in the provinces east of Kyoto. This piece achieves a kind of asymmetrical balance of both form and color, displaying classic Shigaraki markings of emerald green, red ochre, and pale ash.

The Shigaraki kilns in Shiga prefecture have been an active pottery centre since the Kamakura period (1185–1333) and continue to produce pottery up to the present day. Like...

The cutouts as well as the details are very skilfully executed. Probably pieces of furniture. Probably china but perhaps vietnam. The largest panel measures 215mm. Bone inlays are missing.

A vibrant image of a gourd filled with colorful sages at play by Shigemori Yoko. The surrounding black ink is like a Zen painting, immediate and spontaneous; struck out in quick dramatic strokes. By comparison the dynamic figures contained within appear to be painted in light, leisurely strokes with daps of soft color. This is one of several ink and colored sketches we received from her estate and had mounted as scrolls. They play games, practice calligraphy, enjoy tea and conversation, one ...

Vase in the shape of a fish. Iron inlaid with gold and silver. Turquoise stone detail and red eye, either glass or ruby. On the reverse, a tie was soldered to the pewter later to be able to suspend it and thus make it a wall vase. But it seems to me that the object was simply made to be placed on a table. The silver inlays are very numerous, but oxidized in black, they have become almost invisible, however they are clearly distinguishable on the enlargements. It would be easy to lighten them by ...

Statuette of a Chinese deity, probably Guan-yin. It is carved from a block of light beige, nuanced soapstone. She holds a basket in her hand which contains a fish. The facial expression indicates an old style prior to the 20th century. It is a sculpture from the Qing period, probably from the 19th century, but perhaps earlier. The soft stone is normally worn for a century-old object. There are accidents that can be seen in the photos, the most important are: the head glued back together, a part ...

White porcelain dish.Decoration in cobalt blue and Kakiémon style colored enamels. Japanese work by master Imaizumi, known as Imaémon X, who died in 1927. The Imaemon family is known for having created the most beautiful porcelain in Japan at Okawachi in the island of Kyushu near Arita from the end of the 17th century. This style of porcelain is better known as Nabeshima because it was made exclusively for the use of the lords of Nabeshima who offered it only to the Shogun. Hence their rarity....

White porcelain dish decorated with underglaze cobalt blue and colored enamels in the Kakiémon style. Japanese work from the end of the 17th century around 1700. It seems to be a creation of the Arita kilns rather than those of Kakiemon because the blue is underglaze. But the exceptional quality begs the question. We know of only one example of porcelain bearing an absolutely identical decoration, it is a small bowl housed in the Baur museum in Geneva. Underside typical Fuku mark. Diameter: 232...
