Aesthically pleasing Taisho Period C. 1920 zen buddhist bronze temple altar lantern. It has an electric lighting source inside (must be re-wired which we can do upon request). The bronze is heavy bronze and the lines and shapely curves plus the hexigonal mid-section creates a wonderful atmosphere. The hinges and door latch are perfect and the lattice work is exceptional. A slight hole in one of the paper panels but can be easily repaired on request. H: about 44cm; diameter: about 19cm. Ask for shipping quote.

The essence of Oribe pottery can be seen in this late Edo Period C.1860 brazier used for heating the old houses. The brown feldspar markings along with the trademark Oribe olive green glazes on a white hagi base truly epitomize a perfect pottery piece. A kiln scars which occured in the firing (or maybe they are chips) on the rim (see pictures) but they are so old they definitely are 'aji' or character. A museum piece. H: about 16"; W: about 14". ask for shipping quote.
