The Art and orchid Gallery is selling a matched pair of okimonos on custom carved wooden stands. The Japanese ivory running horse (uma, in Japanese) carvings exhibit the usual skillful techniques and clever modeling that made their netsukes so popular in the West after exhibiting them in the World Wide Fair during the 19th Century.[191A, 113B] The horse is not indigenous to Japan but excavations of clay uma models are found in B.C. Times.[191A] This pair have a glossy, high polish patina sheen, ...click for details

This pair of figures in carved, incised and stained Oriental ivory was probably made before 1920. The ivory carving exhibits some Japanese motifs, such as the rising sun designs on the saddle cloth and the three clawed dragon prominently shown on the Emperor's jacket.[42A, 168B] The Chinese styles, however, seem more obvious to us. They include: the figures' physiognomy, particularly facial and body posture; head dress; and sectional appliques.[25C] There is a back-to-back 'pakwa ...click for details

The Art and Orchid Gallery's Japanese pottery has a high gloss interior and multiple unusual motifs of exterior decoration. We think it was made by the skillful potter, Miura Kenya (1821-1889),or his student.[3C, 33D] It is a discus-shaped vessel with a very narrow neck and mouth, typically Japanese.[28E] It copies the style of Kenzan's wares, like raku of Meiji Times, even showing the 17th Century Kyoto potter, Ninsei, influence with its dark brown emulated wood finish from mid-vessel d ...click for details

The Art and Orchid Gallery's censer is a heart-shaped reticulated box with cover handmade by Tibetan metal smiths of the 19th Century. It is elaborately constructed of alternating bands of copper and silver gilded copper designs. Both metals are widely used in Tibetan religious art.[162A, 187B, 189C] The designs include: copper chevron bands with or without bordering fillets; silver gilded copper flame scheme with some punched reticulation; flame-in-votive design, borrowed from India; a reti ...click for details

The Art and Orchid Gallery's antique Chinese vessel has a rough reddish-brown thick stoneware body with greenish-brown glaze running halfway down, not covering the sides or the bottom. It has Tang/Song Dynasty characteristics including a flat foot and bottle shape.[28A, 132B, 175C] Since it is always safest to go from the known to the unknown, and knowing that the Chinese always model after the antique, we feel this vessel may have been made to copy ceramics of the Han or earlier times.[25D, ...click for details

The Art and Orchid Gallery's 'sagemono', or hanging object, is named a yatate in Japanese. A yatate is a container for writing equipment.[120A] The first portable yatates were probably made during the early Edo Period (1661-1673) following the development of 'fighting pipes' used by the Japanese classes forbidden from carrying a sword.[120B] During the Edo Period and continuing into the beginning of the Meiji Period, the yatate became a necessary article for writing, carried b ...click for details

Japanese totai-jippo is a type of Japanese cloisonne (shippo in Japanese) whereby the enameling work is done on a ceramic body instead of metal.[129A, 38B] With the world opened to Japanese exports at the end of the Tokugawa Period, their craftsmen experimented with many decorative arts including enamel ware. Chu and Chu report the earliest totai-jippo made by Seto potters about 1868.[42C] The Art and Orchid Gallery's totai-jippo is a special type called 'tree bark'. In this typ ...click for details

This is an antique hand carved and uncommon mixed media constructed Chinese yao ping (or snuff bottle), with a newer spoon and cover.[84A] It was probably made as a cabinet bottle or vitrine object for collectors at the "fin de siecle" (end of 19th Century).[11B] The Chinese craftsman certainly went out of their way to make a yao ping that was different, and still ornamental, from the thousands of lapidary worked stone, glass, or coral, and ceramic finished, carved ivory, bone and jing ...click for details
