I am normally attracted to older objects based on design and a sense of age given through wear and patina. I was drawn to this newer scholar object more by the incredibly artistic use of surface and internal color and design in the wood. It is sculpture more than useful object. I do not know about Chinese exotic hardwoods so I will leave it to the learned collector to make that call. The brush pot stands 5" tall and 4" across the bottom. The condition is excellent.

This charming little tea scoop appeals on several levels, to those with an interest in slightly different tea implements and to the Daruma collector.

This ceramic brazier or te-abori (handwarmer) takes the shape of a yawning Daruma, the monk who brought Zen Buddhism to Japan. He is seen here in a gaping yawn after awakening from his nine years of meditation. The body of the brazier is glazed in a rich mottled brown with random splotches of white Hagi-like glaze. There are two katakana letters on the base that are unread. The piece measures 7" by 7" by 8 1/2" high and is in excellent condition.
