A Japanese Lacquer Small Lid –“Hannya”– Meiji Catalogue: Antiques: Regional Art: Asian: Japanese: Lacquer: Pre 1900   item# 984452 (stock# COLL 1023)  click for details Ichiban Japanese and Oriental Antiques 203.272.7392 295.00  This is a striking small Japanese lacquered piece that appears to have been a lid to some item - possibly for a natsume - a tea leaf holder. Though it is just a lid, we found the technique to be so fine that we believe it can stand on its own. The design is that of the famous character from the Noh drama - “Hannya”. The mask sits on a multi-colored cloth and a flowing stream winds nearby. The details are done in several different lacquer techniques – small black and gold chips – makie – hiramaki ...click for details A Very Fine Studio Chawan with Hare’s Fur Glaze Catalogue: Vintage Arts: Regional Art: Asian: Japanese: Tea Articles: Pre 1970   item# 984256 (stock# ICHI 3956)  click for details Ichiban Japanese and Oriental Antiques 203.272.7392 425.00  This is a wonderful Japanese chawan (tea bowl) with a milk chocolate glaze both on the inside and outside. In the interior a pattern of russet ‘hare’s fur’ streaks are seen in a semicircle that is at the bottom of the bowl. There are a few streaks of hares fur glaze on the exterior. On one side of the chawan there is an unglazed oblong section measuring about 1 ¾” long by7/8” wide at the widest – this is clearly done deliberately and is not a firing fault. This exposed body clay on the bowl' ...click for details An Early Boxwood Carving of a Lohan - Qing Catalogue: Antiques: Regional Art: Asian: Chinese: Wood: Pre 1900   item# 984027 (stock# COLL1022)  click for details Ichiban Japanese and Oriental Antiques 203.272.7392 295.00  This is lovely miniature boxwood carving of a lohan riding on a horse. It is possible that it was intended for use as a Chinese toggle – there are holes on the two ends –but we have tried to push a needle through from each end and it gets stuck about half way through – probably some old clogged dirt. The carving is quite detailed and the lohan’s face and the horse’s head are very realistic. ...click for details Year of the Tiger - Blue and White Tiger Bowl Catalogue: Antiques: Regional Art: Asian: Japanese: Porcelain: Pre 1920   item# 983809 (stock# COLL 1021)  click for details Ichiban Japanese and Oriental Antiques 203.272.7392 395.00  A deep Arita footed bowl with a scalloped edge dating from the late Meiji to early Taisho era - circa 1890-1920. The inner design is that of a wonderfully goofy looking tiger in a bamboo grove - his long tail curling up over his back. The bowl measures 9" diameter at the top - 4" diameter at the foot and is 3 1/2" deep. The ...click for details Year of the Tiger - A Komai Dish with a Stalking Tiger Catalogue: Antiques: Regional Art: Asian: Japanese: Metalwork: Pre 1900   item# 983578 (stock# ICHI 801)  click for details Ichiban Japanese and Oriental Antiques 203.272.7392 695.00  This is an extraordinary Japanese Komai dish with decoration of a tiger in mid stride as he stalks his prey. The metals are gold, silver, and copper with the gold shading from a coppery color to a yellow gold. The detailing is as fine as you will see. The nose is a reddish copper, claws are silver, silver used for shading on face and underneath on the throat and chest. It is signed on the back with Komai's mark. This piece measures 5 1/4” diameter and is 1 1/8” deep with tripod legs under th ...click for details A Miniature Wooden Chinese Travel Shrine – Four Buddhas Catalogue: Antiques: Regional Art: Asian: Chinese: Pre 1900   item# 983342 (stock# COLL 1020)  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 – a tiny carved wood travel shrine. The Japanese have their travel shrines called zushi – most in enclosed cases – some even in ceramics. However, this is the first time we have ever seen a Chinese travel shrine. The inner part of the piece has a hexagonal base on wh ...click for details A Rare Hirado Shi Shi Netsuke – Edo Period Catalogue: Antiques: Regional Art: Asian: Japanese: Netsuke and Related: Pre 1900   item# 983055 (stock# ICHI 1994)  click for details Ichiban Japanese and Oriental Antiques 203.272.7392 995.00  This is a wonderful Hirado porcelain netsuke in the form of a shi shi laying down with his mouth open. Every detail from the eyes and teeth to the curly hair on his back is beautifully executed as only the Hirado pottery artists could achieve. The piece is mold formed and the details were hand engraved. The bottom is unglazed and has the two holes that form the himotoshi for the connecting cord. The netsuke measures 1 ¾” long by 1 ¼” wide by 1 1/8” tall and is in excellent condition – no chips, ...click for details A Ming Style Celadon Bowl with Impressed Flower Catalogue: Antiques: Regional Art: Asian: Chinese: Porcelain: Pre 1910   item# 982856 (stock# ICHI 4264)  click for details Ichiban Japanese and Oriental Antiques 203.272.7392 395.00  This is a lovely celadon bowl with an impressed flower in the bottom of the bowl that appears to be an open lotus blossom. The edges of the bowl are lightly scalloped and give the bowl a nice soft appearance. The outside is not decorated other than the celadon glaze. The small raised foot is not glazed on the bottom. We think there is a v ...click for details An Amber/Orange Carnelian Snuff Bottle – 19th Cty Catalogue: Antiques: Regional Art: Asian: Chinese: Snuff Bottles: Pre 1920   item# 982679 (stock# ICHI 2138)  click for details Ichiban Japanese and Oriental Antiques 203.272.7392 495.00  This is a lovely orange/amber colored snuff bottle made of carnelian. It is a nice size – measuring 2” high by 1 ¾” wide by 1 1/8” thick – not including the stopper, When held to the light there are some cloudy areas in the stone. The stopper is a white agate with streaks of rust orange and the spoon is made of bamboo. We believe it is possible that this could be the original stopper - there is a crack in the top piece. The bottle has a very well formed foot and is very well hollowed. We date t ...click for details A Five Mountain Brush Rest for Scholars Desk -Qing Catalogue: Antiques: Regional Art: Asian: Chinese: Scholar Art: Pre 1920   item# 982449 (stock# ICHI 4263)  click for details Ichiban Japanese and Oriental Antiques 203.272.7392 295.00  This is a pottery brush rest for the scholars desk made in the shape of five mountain peaks with flowers in low relief on the surface. A brush rest refers to the object used to hold the brush when one temporarily stops painting or writing, so that the wet brush will not smear other things. The piece is in a semi- circular form to that it will stand solidly when the brushes are place on it. The rest is glazed with a glaze that is a mix of gray, white and light blue – the base is unglazed and has ...click for details Return To Top View Next 10 Items PAGE: 1  2  3  4  5  6  7  10  20  30  40  50  98
