A beautiful 19th/20th C. Japanese sterling silver salt shaker. H:3". signed In good condition.

Ca. late 1800s.

Skillfully painted on the interior with a scene of a mountainous landscape with waterfalls and scholars’ residences, loosely in the manner of the late Ming/early Ching artist, Wang Jian.

Interior painting is completely intact...

Late 1800s

Water pot of squat, ovoid form with a narrow foot and slight depression of a base. The even lavender-blue tone of the glass is translucent in strong light and is well-polished on the interior as well as the exterior. Such items as this were essential for the scholar's desk and are more often seen in ceramics than in Beijing glass. There are a few areas of abrasion and scratches from use and some light wear to the foot area...

Cast bronze warrior with multiple patinas, partly gilded. The samurai, wielding a naginata, fights furiously.

History teaches us that he would have triumphed in 60 duels during his life as a swordsman. Good condition, original gilding and patina...
