This is an interesting small guinomi made with a dark brown glaze and in a twisted shape. The interior of the piece has a mottled white glaze and there are areas of the mottle white on the exterior as well. The bottom is unglazed with the chocolate brown clay with dark spots in it. There is a signature not translated. The piece measures 3 ½ high by 3 Ό diameter at the top. We are not sure of the date so will be conservative and date it to the early to mid 20th century.

Early 20th century Kaki otoshi and carved pottery vase with a dragon soaring through clouds, reaching for the elusive pearl of Buddhist wisdom, signed on the base with a kiln mark from the southern Island Kingdom of Ryukyu (Okinawa).

This is from a collection of scholar items we are currently offering from the estate of a Kyoto family involved in literati and art movements from the later Edo period on.

A smattering of goma ash surrounds but is almost worn from the top of this ancient Bizen footed bowl. A pale gray is visible below the surface, as if looking through the outer red. The bowl is heavily worn outside from much handling, and was likely used on a daily basis. Certainly 17th century, very likely Momoyama, before styles and shapes became fixed under the rigid Edo structure, I have not seen another like it. Judging by the shape it is possibly a priests begging bowl, although unusual... Click for details
