Buddhist lion in gilded bronze. Japanese work from the Edo period (17 ° -19 °) difficult to date with precision. However the style of the round patches of the coat does not seem to me to be 17 °, it is more reasonable to think 18 ° -19 °. The cast iron is of good quality and very thick which makes it very heavy (18 kilograms). The bronze was hot gilded with mercury and then covered with translucent lacquer which gives an orange color. A suit of 17 ° -18 ° gilded in the same way is housed...

A Shigaraki vase by Furutani Kazuya enclosed in the original signed wooden box titled Shigaraki Konsei Hanaire. The Konsei blended clay creates a unique texture. The coloration on thi piece makes it stand apart from its contemporaries. Very unusual and striking combination of raw clay, orange, black and a few crystaline beads of green glazz around two white eyes. It is 29 cm (11-1/2 inches) tall, 15 cm (6 inches) diameter and in excellent condition, directly from the artist.

All are old principally 19th century but some are probably earlier and some are perhaps earlier 20th century. The prices will be in ...

Kozuka in sentoku inlaid with silver, gold plated strip (not gilded) details inlaid in solid gold. This is one of the 24 Chinese legends on filial piety, that of Mo-So who brings a tasty bamboo shoot to his old mother in the middle of winter. Kozuka of good quality but faded from having been worn. Part of the silver beard missing. Edo period 19th century or earlier. It would be necessary to find the name of the artist to date with certainty, I did not do it but I can do it on request. Size 1...

Partly golden. Sentoku silver and solid gold inlays. Probably Meiji period late 19th century. It would be necessary to find the name of the artist to date with certainty, I did not do it but I can do it on request. ...

Iron kozuka inlaid with a bronze or brass paddle wheel and waves.Details in silver. Simple but powerful good work. It reminds me of the Onin style tsuba. This kozuka seems to me very old 18 ° or before. Its simple appearance while being of good quality, its solidity makes me think that it was not made during the peaceful and sumptuous Edo period but before during the agitated war period of Muromachi. Dimensions about 100x15 mm

Five unique plates by Tomimoto Kenkichi, from various eras depicting bucolic scenery each uniquely signed on the back. Kenkichi changed his signature regularly, which makes it very easy to date his works. These date from the 1950s. Each is between 18.5 and 19.5 cm diameter (roughly 7-1/2 inches). One has a slight firing flaw near at the rim, otherwise they are all in excellent condition. A smaller 6th plate will be included, bonus.
