This is an unusual depiction of the normally jolly and satisfied Hotei in well-cast bronze. This fellow is, quite frankly, a bit stern looking but nonetheless has all the requisite corpulence and overstuffed baggage of the best Hoteis. The gift bag and robes on this piece are particularly well modeled. This fellow stands 5" high and significantly measures 7 1/2" across the base including belly and bag. The condition is very good with a few minor rubbings befitting its age. The pat ...click for details

Japanese Bronze Yatate/Portable Brush+Ink Holder. This simple but elegant Yatate shows many years of intense use and has gained a beautiful patina. The bronze barrel is capped with a silver end piece and a calfskin lanyard joins the barrel and ink container. The piece has an excellent patina from use and age and is in very good condition except for a split in the barrel cap which appears quite old, and may be original. The barrel measures 6” long and the ink container is 2 ¼” by 1 ½”.

Japanese Bronze Art Nouveau Candle Stands. These candle stands are a classic example of how the Japanese packaged very traditional symbols to appeal to the “new” look of Art Nouveau early in the late 19th/early 20th century. The overlapping coin design on the base, butterflies on the sides, and flowers and tendrils twisting up the stands are classic Japanese but result in a “foreign” appearance intended to appeal to the western market. What is very Japanese is the exquisite craftsmanship and ...click for details

Pair of Japanese Buddhist Bronze Temple Vases. These vases are Buddhist temple vases with dragons twining over the lower part and bird masks protruding on each side. There is a lovely lappet border between the bulbous center and flaring tops. They have a beautiful feel and look to them with the left dragon grasping the pearl of wisdom and the right opposed dragon seeming to look longingly at its partner - or perhaps it wants the pearl! The inside is coated with a resin-like material, presumab ...click for details
