$1,750.00 A very rare Bronze Seal that was used as a pendant with an old glass bead. There are still remnants of the gold leaf surrounding the seal.
I judge it as a Han seal or earlier. I have never came across one like this before

Kyoto Ceramics and Fine Art
Sold, Thank You! A great example of a modern Shino tea bowl based on pieces being produced nearly 500 years ago in the kilns of Mino. This piece shows excellent texture to the glaze with a very active and diverse ceramic landscape. In addition, the use of a darker ferrous compound gives it a rather weighty and seasoned appearance when compared with the more commonly encountered red Shino glazes of the modern day. Resting comfortably in the hand, this tea bowl definitely has a good measure of character and presen...

Kyoto Ceramics and Fine Art
Sold, Thank You! This extraordinary mizusashi is a fine example of Oni Shino (carbon trap and natural ash glazing) that Tsukigata is so well-known for. Coining the term in the mid-50’s after countless failed experiments—which ultimately culminated in the discovery of this unique style of pottery—“Oni” translates roughly to demon or ogre. Fired at extreme temperatures for days in an anagama kiln, the iron in the clay and in the glaze fuses, drips, and coalesces—while at the same time blending with the...
