This is a beautiful vase by a rare artist. It is decorated with two large panels showing groups of people in an outdoor scene. These are very nicely gilt and enamelled with considerable detail and accuracy. Probably most striking, however, is the decoration of the remainder of the vase. In addition to the more usual gilt decoration, it has a large number of small roundels beautifully gilt and enamelled with flowers...

This ivory figure is of exquisite quality and depicts a man who has been sweeping outside. He is holding a leaf with a praying mantis sitting atop. The expression on the man's face is delightful. The carving and subtle staining of this piece shows a mastery of the craft. One of the legs on the mantis has been invisibly restored and there are some very fine age lines on the ivory which is common with late 19th century pieces...
