$295 

This lovely round red and black lacquer tray with hand carved peony blossoms and leaves was crafted in a technique known as kamakura-bori and dates to the early 20th century. The alternating layers of color create a rich effect on the low relief carving, adding to its three dimensional quality. There is a wonderful depth and patina to the richly textured finish of this tray, which was very likely a tea ceremony presentation tray. The reverse is simply finished with red lacquer. With its large cr ...click for details

This stunning large Japanese Kutani porcelain vase in simple ovoid form was created by Living National Treasure Tokuda Yasokichi III (b. 1933). The light teal blue glaze on the short neck flows over the shoulder, contrasting with bands of shimmering light green and yellow glazes which culminate in a deep rich aubergine (dark purple) glaze that covers the lower half of the vase. This piece is a marvelous example of Tokuda’s mastery of the “saiyu” technique of color gradation wherein the transluce ...click for details

This handsome Japanese Kutani porcelain vase in waisted cylindrical form was created by Living National Treasure Tokuda Yasokichi III (b. 1933). This vase is a marvelous example of Tokuda’s mastery of the “saiyu” technique of color gradation wherein the translucent Kutani glazes blend and overlap in a brilliant display of colors. The teal blue glaze on the long thin neck continues over the top of the shoulder where it fades into shimmering bands of light green and culminates in a rich aubergine ...click for details

$130 

This original woodblock print by artist Hasegawa Sadanobu III (1881-1963) features a Kabuki actor from the Edo period boldly portrayed in a classic role. 20th century, ca. 1950’s. The actor plays the role of a samurai villain, with his katana sword drawn and an angry expression on his face. The printed signature and seal are offset to the right side, above what is likely the printer’s seal mark. There is a pencil signature on the lower margin which reads “Kabuki Kurou” and an illegible printer’s ...click for details

This elegant Japanese porcelain dish in scalloped octagonal form is hand painted in vibrant overglaze polychrome enamels and comes with its original signed wooden storage box (“tomobako”). There is a two character underglaze blue signature on the base. We believe it dates to the early to mid-20th century, but we have not been able to identify the artist. The highly refined milky white glazed body is decorated in the traditional Kakiemon palette of red, blue, green and yellow with a design of a p ...click for details

This superb Japanese porcelain dish, hand painted in underglaze blue and bright overglaze polychrome enamels, is the work of Kakiemon Sakaida XII (1878-1963). The highly refined milky white glazed body is decorated in the traditional Kakiemon palette of red, blue, green and yellow with a design of a butterfly hovering above chrysanthemums issuing from a rocky outcropping near a brushwood fence. There is a great restraint in the sparse offset decoration which creates a wonderfully balanced compos ...click for details

$395 for Set of Five  

These superior quality Japanese iro Nabeshima porcelain dishes with sloping sides are boldly hand painted in polychrome enamels on a pure white ground. The mark of Imaizumi Imaemon is painted in underglaze blue within the foot ring. We believe these dishes to be by either Imaemon XII (1897-1975) or early Imaemon XIII (1926-2001), which would date them to the mid to late 20th century. In striking contrast to the clear white porcelain body, the front of each dish is simply and subtly decorated wit ...click for details

This diminutive Japanese covered silver box is hand hammered and finely stamped in the form of an early Japanese “koban” coin. Possibly a kogo (incense container), it is dated 1957. The bottom of the case bears the Japanese silver hallmark "JUNGIN" (pure silver) and "GINSEI" (made from silver) in Kanji letters. Both can be regarded as over silver 92.5% quality.

This simple and elegant Japanese hand hammered copper vase in basket form with a double entwined relief work handle is an unusual representation in Art Deco style of a “hanakago” or bamboo flower basket. Early 20th century. The four sides flow in a softly rounded shape from a square base and culminate in a square lip. Each copper strip of the double handle has been pressed repeatedly with little rivet-like bumps and then twisted together, giving it a wonderful tactile appeal in addition to its ...click for details
