This is a beautiful bronze temple ornament. It has eight bells hanging around the eaves. The finial is comprised of two fish holding a disc in their mouths. The rust on the top would have washed onto the lantern from the chain used to hang it. The bells are substantial and have a pleasant sound in the breeze.
Dimensions:
Height: 15"
Width at eaves: ~12"
Width at base: 7"

There's slight wear on the patination on the sides of the vase. The maker's mark is on the bottom.

A plump pigeon perches on a branch, under leaves that also shape a mountain. It's a signed piece and we're told that Nanjun is the artist's name. The patina has only minor irregularities and there are no dents--it's a heavy and a sound piece with most pleasing proportions.

Height: 9-1/2"
Diameters at rim, widest & foot: 3", 6-1/2" & 3-3/8"
Weight, unboxed: 4lbs 14 oz

This pretty iron lantern has a wide pagoda roof and filigree sides. The kiri mon is seen on all four sides, and each side has a pair of birds under the eaves of the lantern. The door opens and closes but doesn't fit well. There's light rusting but no large flakes; rather it's shedding fine particles and would benefit from a wax sealer. Dates from Showa period or earlier.
Dimensions:
Height: 11-1/2"
Width: Roof: 10-1/2" sq.
Width: Base: 7-1/2" sq.

This hefty suiban weighs over 18 pounds. It has fabulous shishi handles. A pattern of shields is repeated around the sides. Within each shield is a suggestion of a dragon or oni face; above the shields is a row of studs in concentric circles. It sits on four flared feet and has a commanding presence.
There's one place (visible in the photos) that looks like an old patina repair. There's a gouge on the inside of the basin, and the rough spot on the outside corresponds to the same location.
Dates from the Taisho or Meiji period.
Dimensions:
Overall height: 6"
Overall length: 22"
Width: 12-3/8"
Basin length: 18"
Basin depth: 4-1/2"
