These Japanese boys dancing while holding a rope between them have been remounted on a stand covered with puppet theatre book paper (jorui). Their expressions and old cloth dates their age. Looks like the hands and feet have been touched up but detracts in no way from the attractiveness of the dolls. Would make a great addition to your antique collection. c.1880. (9½" x 6") (24cm x 15cm). EMS Shipping/Insurance to USA or Western Europe $45.

From the famed Shigaraki Kilns north of Kyoto. Known for their clays, Shigaraki was made famous by Sen no Rikyu the originator of the Japanese tea ceremony. He chose Shigaraki ceramics as the choice of tea masters. This Soy Vase has the distinctive Shigaraki green stripes. The spout at the bottom can be used to route a chord and it would make a stunning lamp. Meiji Period 1870-80. (19½" x 12") (54cm x 30cm). Large, heavy item. EMS Shipping/Insurance to USA or Western Europe $135.
