A small footed blue and white dish made for the domestic Chinese market.

The rim ha ...click for details A blue & white Canton-Asian export dish (3) Catalogue: Antiques: Regional Art: Asian: Chinese: Stoneware: Pre 1700   item# 1192567  click for details Ruyi Studio San Francisco 415.990.3524 $130.00  One of three Canton export dishes for the Asian market being offered. This is the largest and heaviest of the three and the most carefully executed. It is of the same diameter as the dish (item 1192535) but slightly deeper and significantly heavier. It also has more gently curved rather than angled walls. The cursive script and the “floral” decorations seem more confidently executed and are very well-balanced. The stacking ring is narrower, and the glaze is more evenly applied such that th ...click for details A blue & white Canton-Asian export dish (2) Catalogue: Antiques: Regional Art: Asian: Chinese: Pottery: Pre 1800   item# 1192535  click for details Ruyi Studio San Francisco 415.990.3524 $110.00  A Chinese blue and white dish made for export to the Asian market, and one of three being offered, each with slight variations in size, weight and decoration.

The clay body has fired a reddish-brown color, visible through the thin glaze at the center of the bowl and along portions of the rim. The interior is decorated in cobalt blue cursive script at center with abs ...click for details A very heavy Ming dynasty celadon bowl, 15th Century Catalogue: Antiques: Regional Art: Asian: Chinese: Pottery: Pre 1700   item# 1190580  click for details Ruyi Studio San Francisco 415.990.3524 $110.00  A steep and extremely heavy Ming bowl (circa 15th century) with a thin, worn celadon glaze extending completely down the characteristically high Ming foot. The underside is only partially glazed revealing a very light-colored clay body. The thin and degraded glaze, which is slightly rough to the touch, is also covered with a fine network of craquelare, rather interestingly and subtly accented by the soft orange--rather than the more typical burnt orange--firing color seen on the underside of t ...click for details Ming dynasty pale celadon bowl, 15th Century Catalogue: Antiques: Regional Art: Asian: Chinese: Pottery: Pre 1492   item# 1190543  click for details Ruyi Studio San Francisco 415.990.3524 $120.00  A high-footed, steep, Ming dynasty bowl (circa 15th century), with a nearly white, light grey-colored body, and a vitreous, pale celadon glaze. The bowl was glazed and fired upright with no evidence of kiln stacking, and the glaze appears to have been applied in at least two thin layers: the first glaze covering the plain interior, the rim, and falling just short of the unglazed foot; the second glaze falling in a nearly perfect straight line just below the lip, pooling naturally in the upper t ...click for details Natsume in colorful “dokuraku” (Chinese toy top motif) Catalogue: Vintage Arts: Regional Art: Asian: Japanese: Lacquer: Pre 1960   item# 1189053  click for details Ruyi Studio San Francisco 415.990.3524 $120.00  This colorful and wonderfully tactile container is a very high quality Japanese lacquered tea caddy (or natsume) rendered in the colorful pattern known as “dokuraku” or ‘toy top.’ The wooden body has been very finely turned resulting in a delicate lidded vessel with gently curved sides tapering to a narrow, recessed base. The exterior is decorated with multi-colored lacquers which were painstakingly applied to the raised bands between the concentric grooves, while the interior is coated with bl ...click for details A good pair of foo lions, Late Ching or Early Republic Catalogue: Antiques: Regional Art: Asian: Chinese: Porcelain: Pre 1920   item# 1163276  click for details Ruyi Studio San Francisco 415.990.3524 $280.00  Very late Ching dynasty or early Republic period (19th/20th century).

A formal or symmetrical pose, rather than a naturalistic posture, are typical or archaistic style jades, or jades which represent an intentional or sometimes fanciful interpretation of an ancient style, a trend in the Chinese decorative arts that is especially prevalent during the 18th century. The boar, once common in China, has since ...click for details An unusual black glass stand in classic Chinese style Catalogue: Vintage Arts: Decorative Art: Glass: American: Pre 1950   item# 1151357  click for details Ruyi Studio San Francisco 415.990.3524 $66.00  Circa 1940 American glass, unknown maker. This is a highly unusual heavy black glass circular stand likely of American manufacture but in the classic Chinese style with three raised feet, multiple beaded edges, a slightly raised outer lip and all the detailing seen in a finely turned Chinese wooden stand of this type. This is NOT Chinese “Peking glass” but was obviously inspired by Chinese wooden stands, and it seems likely the designer had a fine Chinese wooden prototype to work with.

A fine Japanese suzuribaku (writing box for storing brushes, inkstone and writing accessories) crafted from imported Chinese or “karaki” [‘foreign’] hardwoods.

The box is elegantly shaped ...click for details Plum Blossoms & Calligraphy by Zheng Zhusan Catalogue: Fine Art: Paintings: Pre 2000   item# 1104919  click for details Ruyi Studio San Francisco 415.990.3524 $3800.00  ZHENG ZHUSAN (1943-).
