Pitted black drapes over the fine orange-peal texture of this Kuro-Raku Chawan by Higaki Soraku I (d. 1983) enclosed in the original wooden box endorsed within. The bowl is 5 inches (13 cm) diameter, 3-1/2 inches (8 cm) tall and in excellent condition. A beautifully formed bowl.

A set of five antique Kenzan style plates decorated with Momiji maples on crackled cream colored glaze from Inuyama, outside Nagoya, enclosed in an antique wooden box. In the center of each dish is a character Sakigake in a green dial (Sakigake is the brightest star in the big dipper), meaning to excel above all others. They are 8 inches (19.5 cm) diameter and in fine condition. Very rare to find a complete set of dishes like this.

The Japanese Idea of wabisabi is presented here in this 19th century mizusashi fresh water container of creamy-white porcelain decorated with a rambling landscape punctuated by a loan scholar staring out over the seas. The raw, hard-wood lid is custom made to fit the slightly out of square form and the pot comes in a wooden box made from an old sugar crate. Really a pleasure to hold, the pot is 6-1/2 inches (16.5 cm) tall, roughly 5 inches (12.5 cm) square. There is a hairline crack extending ...click for details
