A spectacular Meiji period Tenmoku Chawan by Eiraku Zengoro decorated in a flamboyant style with precious metals. A golden pine trunk rises, almost entirely obscured by the mass of silver pine needles built up both within and without the bowl. It is most powerful in comparison to the ordinarily subdued Kyo-yaki ware of the Meiji era. The stamp on the base is undoubtedly that of Wazen. The bowl is just less than 5 inches (12.5 cm) diameter and in perfect condition. ...click for details

A dragon gallivants about the white crackled surface of this bun-shaped Mizusashi hand painted by important Meiji period artist Imao Keinen enclosed in a signed wooden box. Like a wisp of smoke, the mythic beast floats in the air, whiskers flowing behind in the wind, his body a soft, semitransparent single stroke of gray ink. Color permeates the white crackled rim, adding to the affect and it comes with a black lacquered wooden lid. The vessel is 8-1/2 inches (21.5 cm) diameter. Aside from s ...click for details

Goma speckles and ash cover the top of this beautiful rolled lotus leaf dish dating from the later Edo (19th c.) enclosed in an old wooden box. The veins of the leaf stand out prominently on the back and underside. The bottom also shows charring and heat scorching in sharp contrast to the thick deposit of ash glaze on the top. The dish is 30 x 19.5 x 6 cm (12 x 8 x 2-1/2 inches). There are 2 old repairs to the edges, otherwise is in fine condition.
