A Modern Peking Glass Vase – Cameo Cut Blue Flowers Catalogue: Vintage Arts: Regional Art: Asian: Chinese: Glass: Pre 1960   item# 951982 (stock# ICHI 2201)  click for details Ichiban Japanese and Oriental Antiques 203.272.7392 795.00  This is a fine early to mid 20th century Peking Glass vase with an opaque milk white ground and beautiful cobalt blue flowers and butterflies in the cameo cut overlay. Earlier examples of Peking glass had more variegated glasses as the base color. The earlier pieces also showed signs of hand carving of the second layer which left the edges of the design softer. This vase has sharp edges to the overlay blue glass that has been cut away to reveal the design thereby showing that the design was cut ...click for details A Fine Studio Tokkuri in the Style of Shoji Hamada Catalogue: Vintage Arts: Regional Art: Asian: Japanese: Stoneware: Pre 1960   item# 951122 (stock# ICHI 1351)  click for details Ichiban Japanese and Oriental Antiques 203.272.7392 595.00  This is a very handsome square tokkuri that is totally in the style of the master potter, Shoji Hamada. Hamada himself never signed his pieces saying that his work would identify itself. He also said that there would be dozens of pieces made that would be taken as by him, but that his would stand alone. That being said, we think that the ...click for details An Imari Dish – Three Friends of Winter Design Catalogue: Vintage Arts: Regional Art: Asian: Japanese: Porcelain: Pre 1950   item# 950810 (stock# COLL 9091)  click for details Ichiban Japanese and Oriental Antiques 203.272.7392 150.00  This in an unusual Imari dish in that it combines both a transfer design and overglaze enamel painting. In the center of the dish is a blue transfer design of the Three Friends of Winter. Around the edges is an overglaze enamel design rather sloppily painted. The dish measures 6” diameter and is 2” high. It is in excellent condition. We date it to the late Meiji to early Showa period, circa 1910-1940s. ...click for details A Chinese Chop (Seal) –Chicken Blood Stone – Foo Dog Catalogue: Vintage Arts: Regional Art: Asian: Chinese: Pre 1980   item# 950389 (stock# COLL 9090)  click for details Ichiban Japanese and Oriental Antiques 203.272.7392 SOLD - 150.00  In China for many centuries, a seal was a symbol of power and authority. This very nice chop is carved from chicken blood stone with fine coloration. It has some incised designs on the squared body and the top has a nicely carved figure of a foo dog, also known as a shi shi. The base of the chop has the owner’s signature carved in it and the chop still has red ink residue on the signature area. ...click for details A Chinese Blanc-de-Chine Girl with her Dog - late Qing Catalogue: Vintage Arts: Regional Art: Asian: Chinese: Pre 1950   item# 950103 (stock# COLL 9089)  click for details Ichiban Japanese and Oriental Antiques 203.272.7392 695.00  Thus is a charming late Qing dynasty blanc de chine sculpture of a young girl sitting next to her dog. She holds a Sheng (The Chinese sheng (Chinese: 笙; Pinyin shēng) is a mouth-blown free reed instrument consisting essentially of vertical pipes) in her right hand. The details are quite well defined and the young girl's face is a picture of youthful innocence. The girl sits on a rocky outcrop and there is a wrapped package sitting next to her. ...click for details A Rounded Wine Bottle Marked - VOC Trademark Catalogue: Vintage Arts: Regional Art: Asian: Southeast Asian: Ceramics: Pre 1950   item# 947388 (stock# ICHI 3397)  click for details Ichiban Japanese and Oriental Antiques 203.272.7392 295.00  This is a nice wine bottle with an underglaze cobalt blue design that reads VOC inside a floral wreath and that trademark is repeated on the base of the bottle. The bottle measures 6” high and is 4” diameter at its widest. The bottle is in excellent condition. It is possible that it actually dates from the 16th-17th century; however, there have been so many clever fakes and reproductions that have been made that we cannot validate such a date. To be conservative, we will date it as having been m ...click for details A Set of Seven Lacquered Mukozuke - Taisho/Showa Catalogue: Vintage Arts: Regional Art: Asian: Japanese: Tea Articles: Pre 1950   item# 945133 (stock# COLL 9082)  click for details Ichiban Japanese and Oriental Antiques 203.272.7392 195.00  A handsome set of seven Japanese red and black mokuzuke - the tops done in shiny black roiro and the bottoms done in red lacquer. On the bottom of four of the bowls there is a design in makie gold of a bamboo shoot. The seven dishes measure 4 1/2" diameter and are 1" high. The dark black would have been a lovely contrast to the raw fish normally used in the mokuzuke serving. We date these to the mid Taisho to early Showa period, circa 1925-1950s. They are in excellent condition. ...click for details A Japanese Arita Koro in Pure White - Taisho/Showa Catalogue: Vintage Arts: Regional Art: Asian: Japanese: Porcelain: Pre 1960   item# 944570 (stock# ICHI 862)  click for details Ichiban Japanese and Oriental Antiques 203.272.7392 195.00  This is a nice little white porcelain koro - incense burner - from the Arita area. The koro has three shi shi on it - two for handles and one on the lid for a finial. The tripod feet look like softly molded animal heads. One of the interesting aspects of the piece is the opening in the shape of a circle with a cross in the middle. That i ...click for details A Japanese Wooden Three Case Inro - late Meiji/Taisho Catalogue: Vintage Arts: Regional Art: Asian: Japanese: Netsuke and Related: Pre 1930   item# 944336 (stock# ICHI 700)  click for details Ichiban Japanese and Oriental Antiques 203.272.7392 595.00  A very fine early 20th century wooden inro complete with netsuke and ojime. This is a lovely three case wooden inro - the wood appears to be highly polished rosewood. It is decorated in a gold makie relief design of a goose flying over lake grasses on one side - just the grasses on the reverse. The ojime is a cube shaped goldstone piece 3/ ...click for details A Beautiful Inuit Ivory Carving of a Polar Bear Catalogue: Vintage Arts: Regional Art: Americas: Eskimo: Pre 1980   item# 944083 (stock# ICHI 3197)  click for details Ichiban Japanese and Oriental Antiques 203.272.7392 975.00  This is a remarkable piece of carving by an Inuit (Eskimo) carver made from a single tooth of a whale or walrus tusk ivory. It is so incredibly simple yet powerful that it very much reminds me of a sculpture by the great master, Brancusi – see footnote **. It has the same graceful flow that characterizes Brancusi’s work – yet clearly defines the subject in an unmistakable manner. There can be no doubt that this is a polar bear. ...click for details Return To Top View Next 10 Items PAGE: 1  2  3  4  5  6  7  10  20  25
