Vase of exceptional size in Satsuma earthenware. It is extremely difficult to make such a large and above heavy earthenware because the audacious shape carries a risk of subsidence during firing. It is certain that the artist must have used supports during the firing. It is a technical feat of a master potter. The enamels and gilding are of high quality as can be seen on the best satsuma creations. The decoration is also atypical with a beautiful decorative effect and a surprising aesthetic. At ...

White porcelain dish decorated with underglaze cobalt blue and colored enamels in the Kakiémon style. Japanese work from the end of the 17th century around 1700. It seems to be a creation of the Arita kilns rather than those of Kakiemon because the blue is underglaze. But the exceptional quality begs the question. We know of only one example of porcelain bearing an absolutely identical decoration, it is a small bowl housed in the Baur museum in Geneva. Underside typical Fuku mark. Diameter: 232...
White porcelain dish.Decoration in cobalt blue and Kakiémon style colored enamels. Japanese work by master Imaizumi, known as Imaémon X, who died in 1927.

Statuette of a Chinese deity, probably Guan-yin. It is carved from a block of light beige, nuanced soapstone. She holds a basket in her hand which contains a fish.

The soft stone is normally worn for a century-old object. There are accidents that can be seen in the photos, the most important are: the head glued back together, a part ...
Vase in the shape of a fish. Iron inlaid with gold and silver. Turquoise stone detail and red eye, either glass or ruby. On the reverse, a tie was soldered to the pewter later to be able to suspend it and thus make it a wall vase. But it seems to me that the object was simply made to be placed on a table. The silver inlays are very numerous, but oxidized in black, they have become almost invisible, however they are clearly distinguishable on the enlargements. It would be easy to lighten them by ...

Sculpture in white steatite representing a mountain landscape with forests dotted with pavilions. The sculpture is of high quality, the artist has made no mistakes, the volumes are perfect, the drawings harmonious and the whole exudes a feeling of quiet calm . It is rare to find soapstone of this quality, usually sculptures in this material are technically mediocre and without artistic interest.
