The striking underglaze blue and white design of this late 19th century Japanese fukizima charger combines both vivid and muted cobalt in misty blossoms and leaves that float within sharply defined stems. The fukizima technique, employing a stencil and sprayed pigment, created the white flowers that hover above a soft blue background. The igezara fluted trim is in perfect condition; there is a small firing flaw to the lower right of the design. The diameter is 15" (38 cm).

The fine heavy porcelain of this early 20th century Japanese hibachi has an unusual design that contains a loose, misty pine and bamboo painting within precise brocade borders. The meandering pine and wisps of bamboo leaves, done in the style of muromachi ink painting, is at the opposite end of the Japanese design spectrum from the regularity of the stenciled borders. The pine and bamboo, of course, are traditional, widely recognized Asian symbols of longevity. We acquired this piece in 1989 whi ...click for details

In Meiji era Japan (1868-1912), hibachi made of ceramics were added to earlier hibachi options of bronze and copper-lined wood. Hibachi are handsomely crafted receptacles that were filled with hot coals and used as a source of heat--a kind of portable fireplace. This ceramic hibachi from the late 19th/early 20th century has a country theme, with a scene of a rustic dwelling snuggled amid old trees, hills and distant mountains. A poem in cursive calligraphy that is evocative of the scene tells of ...click for details

The spirit of old Japan lives on in its wonderful antique utilitarian items such as this ceramic sake keg. From the late Meiji Period, it has an underglaze of vivid cobalt blue. The strong, stylized characters on the front give the trade name of the sake. This jug is identical to one pictured in "Japanese Antiques" by Patricia Salmon, Art International Publishers, Tokyo, page 51. As shown in that photograph, it originally had a wrapped bamboo handle that looped through the two lugs on ...click for details
