19th-Century Soda Syphon

The 19th-century soda syphon was an essential item for the aristocracy and fine restaurants of its day, used to make sparkling soda water. The bottle is made of thick glass encased in a metal mesh, which adds a vintage industrial look and also protects the bottle from bursting under excess pressure. The neck and nozzle are made of metal, with a finely engineered mechanism that shows the excellent craftsmanship of industrial design of the time.

Cast-Iron Kabuto Helmet Ornament, Japan

A Japanese cast-iron helmet ornament inspired by the samurai helmet (kabuto), combining traditional samurai culture with a craftsman's handwork. Made by iron casting, the helmet is sturdy and heavy, conveying the resolve and dignity of the samurai spirit of the Sengoku (Warring States) period. The radiating gilt-copper crest at the back (kuwagata) symbolises the brilliant rays of the sun; designs of this kind are often seen on the helmets of Sengoku-period daimyō, notably in the armour of warlords such as Tokugawa Ieyasu and Date Masamune. The overall form is imposing, and the gold tassels and embroidered cushion add splendour and nobility, enhancing its display and collecting value. Helmet ornaments of this kind are usually displayed for the Boys' Festival on the fifth day of the fifth month (Kodomo no Hi), as a prayer for children's healthy growth and in the spirit of the samurai. They are also widely used in collections of traditional Japanese culture, in tea ceremony displays and as gifts.

Copper Police Station Sign, Japan

A copper police sign from Japan's Shōwa period, the lettering hand spray-painted, reading “京都府木津警察署 市坂警察官駐在所” (Kyōto Prefecture Kizu Police Station, Ichisaka Police Officer's Residential Post). Judging from the text, the sign most likely belonged to the Ichisaka chūzaisho, a local police unit once located in what is now Kizugawa City in southern Kyōto Prefecture, and served as the official identification sign of that local police post. Made of copper plate, it is solid and heavy in feel, and the natural oxidation and aging of the surface give it a strong period character, presenting a highly authentic historical appearance and an industrial style.

White Porcelain Rooster Figure, Japan

A naturalistic rooster ornament in Japanese white porcelain, formed in one piece entirely of porcelain, its lines both supple and strong, capturing the instant of a cock raising its head, spreading its wings and ruffling its feathers — fully showing the mastery of movement and vital tension in Japanese ceramic sculpture. The surface is high-fire glazed, pure white and warm in tone with a jade-like luster and fine quality. A black wooden stand sets it off, adding elegance and dignity. White porcelain pieces of this kind were often given in the Shōwa period as congratulatory gifts, New Year ornaments or feng shui symbols; the rooster in particular symbolizes good fortune, diligence and protection of the household, carrying strong cultural and symbolic meaning. (With original cardboard box and black wooden stand.)

Antique Carved Wooden Fish Figure with Wooden Box, Japan

This piece is a fine example of old Japanese woodcarving, carved from solid, heavy old wood, the fish lively in its proportions and natural in spirit. It is estimated to date from around the early Shōwa period or earlier; through long years of veneration and storage, the surface has developed a natural patina and mottled marks of age, giving it particular antique charm and historical value. The fish is rendered realistically: the head full and rounded, the eyes slightly bulging, the fins and tail full of dancing movement — the curve of the tail especially natural, revealing the carver's skill and ingenuity in working curved wood. The overall bearing is generous, with a strong visual presence and a quiet, solemn artistic air.
