This mineral breaks with a smooth surface, and is used for ornamentation or as a gemstone. It can be highly polished and is used for vases, s ...click for details A Scholars Rock – Three Mountains Catalogue: Vintage Arts: Regional Art: Asian: Chinese: Pre 1950   item# 978462 (stock# ICHI 3489)  click for details Ichiban Japanese and Oriental Antiques 203.272.7392 325.00  This is a study stone for the scholars studio – made in the shape of three peaks in a distant mountain range. The stone appears to be volcanic rock - possibly a light-colored, uniformly solid rock called rhyolite. There is no fitted base for the stone – but is does stand evenly and does look very much like a distant range when looked at on a table or shelf. The piece measures 8” long by 6” high by 4” thick and is in excellent condition. Age is impossible to determine – so we will classify it as ...click for details Chinese Bamboo Brush Pot - Late Qing Catalogue: Vintage Arts: Regional Art: Asian: Chinese: Wood: Pre 1920   item# 977365 (stock# ICHI 268)  click for details Ichiban Japanese and Oriental Antiques 203.272.7392 225.00  This is a Chinese brush pot for the scholars desk - made of a bamboo node.

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.

On the upper surface is a very intricate set of hand carved characters arranged in nine vertical columns. A thin border of Greek key designs and a stylized floral border at the top surround these columns of characters. ...click for details A Japanese Crackle Glaze Leaf Shaped Pouring Bowl Catalogue: Vintage Arts: Regional Art: Asian: Chinese: Porcelain: Pre 1960   item# 909069 (stock# COLL 9044)  click for details Ichiban Japanese and Oriental Antiques 203.272.7392 $135.00  A sweet Japanese pouring with a small red pouring spout - the balance of the dish is in a light crackled celadon glaze.
