It has a very simple design with an offset design and plenty of white space. The bowl measures 7” diameter at the top by 2” deep by 2 ¾” diameter at the base. The white glaze has a crackle finish. There is a two character impressed mark on the base. The mark has been translated as "Nakayama-En" (maker or studio name).

We have all of the major books and catalogs on Hirado porcelain and this is one of the very few pieces of Hirado that are executed with an all Hirado blue exterior that we could find. Our research shows that less than 1-2 % of Hirado was done in all blue. ...click for details A Pair of Hand Molded Blue and White Bowls – Meiji Catalogue: Antiques: Regional Art: Asian: Japanese: Stoneware: Pre 1920   item# 1015773 (stock# ICHI 2284)  click for details Ichiban Japanese and Oriental Antiques 203.272.7392 325.00  This is an interesting paid of two small hand molded bowls (mukozuke)with finger marks all over the bowls to give a dimpled effect. In the center of each is an underglaze blue design of a basket of flowers. Though similar in design and shape, one is larger than the other. The larger bowl measures 4 1/2” diameter at the top by 2” deep and a base that is 3 ½” diameter. The smaller of the two bowls measures 4 3/8” diameter at the top by 1 ¾” deep by 3 ¼” diameter at the base.

Unlike the later Imari ware that is much less perfectly designed and painted, Ko-Imari – which means Old Imari – was done with great precision. This lovely bowl has a raised underglaze blue and white reserve in cavetto with a stylized floral design. On the sides are four reserves with two each painting of two standing elders, two done in red and gold and the other pair done in green and grey. Between the center design and the reser ...click for details An Unusual Artifact- Indonesia – Engraved Boar Skull Catalogue: Antiques: Regional Art: Asian: Southeast Asian: Folk Art: Pre 1920   item# 1015258 (stock# ICHI 1678)  click for details Ichiban Japanese and Oriental Antiques 203.272.7392 595.00  This is one of the most unusual items we have ever had in our collection. As you can see, it is the skull of a wild boar that is engraved with a face on the front of the skull. It was purchased from a man who had lived in Indonesia for many years, so I have no reason to doubt the story behind the skull. The story goes that a small boy fro ...click for details A Peking Glass Cameo Bowl – Orange Flowers Catalogue: Vintage Arts: Regional Art: Asian: Chinese: Glass: Pre 1970   item# 1015056 (stock# COLL 1064)  click for details Ichiban Japanese and Oriental Antiques 203.272.7392 495.00  This is a fine early to mid 20th century Peking Glass bowl with a flared lip. It has an opaque milk white ground and beautiful rust orange flowers as the design in the cameo cut overlay. Earlier examples of Peking glass had more variegated glasses as the base color. The earlier pieces also showed signs of hand carving of the second layer which left the edges of the design softer. This vase has sharp edges to the overlay blue glass that has been cut away to reveal the design thereby showing that ...click for details A Modern Korean Pungcheon Vase with Intaglio Flowers Catalogue: Vintage Arts: Regional Art: Asian: Korean: Ceramics: Pre 1980   item# 1014833 (stock# ICHI 3713)  click for details Ichiban Japanese and Oriental Antiques 203.272.7392 975.00  This is a late 20th century reproduction of a famous style of Korean pottery known a Puncheong. We have been told by an expert that it is by a modern pottery by the name of Mr.Lee, who passed on a few years ago. In the 1980s and 70s, young Korean artists could never imagine such international interest in the lowly craft. One modern potter ...click for details A Soapstone Carving of an Old Man Reclining - 20th Catalogue: Vintage Arts: Regional Art: Asian: Chinese: Folk Art: Pre 1970   item# 1014498 (stock# ICHI 1928)  click for details Ichiban Japanese and Oriental Antiques 203.272.7392 225.00  A nicely carved soapstone figure of an old man or sage reclining on an overturned basket and holding a long pipe. The soapstone is a rather unusual golden yellow color. The piece measures3 1/4" long by 2" high by 1 3/8" thick. The details of the old man are quite well executed. The carving is in excellent condition - and we ...click for details An Itto-Bori Carving of Daruma - Meiji/Taisho Catalogue: Vintage Arts: Regional Art: Asian: Japanese: Okimono: Pre 1940   item# 1014201 (stock# ICHI 747)  click for details Ichiban Japanese and Oriental Antiques 203.272.7392 195.00  This is an Itto-bori (one knife carving) of a standing Daruma. It was made from a single branch of wood – very fine grained. The piece is quite well carved with a very handsome face and excellent detail to the garment and whisk. The piece stands 6 7/8” high and is 2 ½” diameter. It is in excellent condition – some natural cracks in the wood that are stable. Notice the fine grain in the polished top of the head. We date it to the late Meiji to Taisho period, circa 1900-1925. A Hirado or Kutani Teapot - Fukurokuju – Polychrome Catalogue: Antiques: Regional Art: Asian: Japanese: Porcelain: Pre 1900   item# 1014019 (stock# COLL 10063)  click for details Ichiban Japanese and Oriental Antiques 203.272.7392 1500.00  This is a most unusual and colorful teapot in the shape of the one of the Japanese Household Gods – Fukurokuju. We believe the piece to be one of the rare types of Hirado porcelain that were executed in polychrome. The recessed unglazed eyes of the figure are very characteristic of early Hirado ware. It is possible that it could be Kutani because the colors are those typically found in Kutani ware – orange, violet, blue and pale green. We lean towards Hirado because of the eyes, the soft glow of ...click for details Return To Top View Next 10 Items PAGE: 1  2  3  4  5  6  7  100  103
