Vintage Japanese | Hand-Hammered Copper Chataku (Tea Saucers) with the Twelve Zodiac Animals in Relief

This vintage Japanese set of tea saucers is distinguished by hand-hammered copper work and relief designs of the twelve zodiac animals. It is preserved as a complete set of six with a wooden box, carrying a strong feeling of traditional Japanese metalwork and tea-setting utensils. The saucers are rectangular with slightly curved sides and a round central recess to hold a teacup or small tea bowl; the borders are formed by small hammered dots, giving a clear hand-worked metal texture. Most distinctive is that each saucer bears a relief of a different zodiac animal. Animals such as the tiger and the ox can be seen in the photos, together with another set of relief designs below, so the saucers are not identical mass-produced pieces but each carries its own theme and collecting interest.

Kutani Ceramic Tiger Biting Bamboo on a Rock Base with Waves

This vintage Japanese ceramic ornament takes as its subject a powerful tiger biting bamboo, and its form is full of dramatic tension. The tiger stands on a rock base with wave patterns in front, a length of green bamboo in its mouth; its body is painted in yellow-brown glaze with black stripes, creating a very striking visual effect. The piece brings together several Eastern auspicious and natural images: tiger, bamboo, rock and waves. The tiger symbolizes power, courage and protection; bamboo symbolizes resilience, steady advancement and evergreen vitality; the rock base and waves give the composition more movement, making the piece not merely an animal ornament but more of a complete sculptural folk-art ceramic.

Vintage Japanese Painting of a Maiko Beauty

This vintage Japanese decorative figure painting depicts a maiko beauty in a sumptuous kimono. She stands turned slightly to one side; her pale face, long narrow eyes and brows, vermilion lips and elaborate coiffure together convey the classic quality of traditional Japanese bijin-ga (paintings of beautiful women). The maiko wears a vivid yellow kimono patterned with flowers and grasses in purple, green, red and other colors, while her obi pairs strong vermilion, orange-yellow and dark geometric patterns. The figure is richly colored, yet because the background is a subdued golden brown, the work does not look gaudy; instead it has the elegance and nostalgia characteristic of Shōwa-period Japanese bijin-ga.

Vintage Japanese | Painting of a Goten-musume (Palace Maiden) Beauty

This vintage Japanese figure painting depicts a woman in the traditional goten-musume (palace maiden) style. She wears a sumptuous kimono, her hair piled high and adorned with flower hairpins, tassels and red hair ornaments; the overall look is ornate yet refined. She holds a square object, and her costume combines red, teal, off-white and black with fine geometric and floral patterns, expressing a strong traditional Japanese sense of dress. The deep teal background makes her pale face and red clothing stand out, and the border is finished with off-white and greenish-grey vertical stripes. The composition has the nostalgic feel common to Shōwa-period decorative paintings, shibai-e (theatre pictures) and Japanese-style bijin-ga.

Vintage Japanese | Classical Famille-Rose Long-Necked Vase with Hundred Flowers and Butterflies

This vintage Japanese long-necked vase is distinguished by ornate, finely painted famille-rose flowers, butterflies and gilt decoration; its slender, elegant form carries a strong classical East Asian ceramic aesthetic. The white porcelain body is painted around the belly with auspicious motifs of blooming peonies, branches, buds and butterflies, in alternating pink, vermilion, emerald green, yellow, purple and other tones, with touches of gilding. The effect is rich, yet ample white reserve keeps it from becoming overly busy. The neck is long and slender, the shoulders flare naturally, and the belly is a full cylindrical form narrowing to a foot ring below, giving slender yet stable proportions. The shoulder and rim are further encircled by continuous geometric and ruyi patterns and colored decorative bands, giving the piece complete visual layering from mouth to base.

Kutani Ware | Set of Ten Sometsuke Plates with Landscape and Pavilion Design

This set of Japanese Kutani ware sometsuke landscape plates is preserved as a complete set of ten, with a wooden box. Painted in traditional sometsuke (blue-and-white) on a mellow white porcelain body, the plates depict landscapes, pavilions, trees, distant mountains and figures in boats, in a clear, elegant style with a strong Eastern literati feeling. As the photos show, each plate takes a landscape as its theme, but the compositions are not mechanically identical; natural variations can be seen in the trees, houses, mountains, shorelines and blank space. The blue lines vary in depth, layering distant and near views and conveying the quiet charm unique to traditional sometsuke porcelain. The rims are finely outlined in a dark color, focusing the picture. With a diameter of about 24.2 cm, these are large plates of a very practical size, well suited as serving plates for guests, as vessels for Japanese cuisine, or displayed upright on stands as landscape art plates.

Vintage Japanese | Large Kutani Ware Vase with Gilt Figures and Landscape

This large vintage Japanese vase draws on the ornate painted vocabulary typical of Kutani ware, combining gilding, figures, garden landscapes, pine trees and buildings in a richly layered design with a strong traditional Japanese ceramic decorative aesthetic. The form is a full, rounded jar shape with ample shoulders and a slightly inturned rim, giving steady proportions. The front centers on a figural scene showing people in traditional dress, pines, a garden and buildings, set against a broad gold ground that makes the subject all the more splendid. Kutani ware has long been known for rich color and intricate patterning, and this piece shows the very typical decorative style of “a full picture, saturated color and bright gilding.” Even without flowers, it makes a strong display on its own.

Vintage Japanese | Kyōto Fushimi Clay Doll of a Decorated Horse (Kazari-uma)

This vintage Japanese kazari-uma (decorated horse) clay doll takes a white horse as its main form, dressed in a vivid vermilion caparison with blue edging, with a black mane and saddle fittings with a gilt effect; the colors are highly characteristic of traditional Japanese folk toys. Compared with horse sculptures that aim at realistic proportions, the charm of Fushimi dolls leans toward being “rustic, auspicious and endearing.” The horse's proportions are slightly exaggerated, its outline simple and solid, and its face has a somewhat childlike expression, which gives the piece more of the warmth of handmade folk art. The most eye-catching part is the saddle and tack on its back. The large areas of gold decoration show natural wear from the years, and together with the traditional vermilion, blue and black, the piece has a festive feel while retaining the historical character a vintage piece should have.

Vintage Japanese | Carved Wooden Replica of the Gigaku Mask “Taikofu”

Gigaku is one of Japan's important ancient masked dance-dramas. It was introduced from the continent in the Asuka period and was widely performed at temple ceremonies in the Nara period. The gigaku masks that survive in the Hōryū-ji and Shōsō-in lineages are important artifacts for the study of ancient Japanese mask art; the Hōryū-ji Treasures held by the Tokyo National Museum include the National Treasure “Taikofu” mask. Taikofu represents an elderly man; traditional examples usually show deep wrinkles, a long nose, a smiling mouth and the face of an old man. Official sources also note that some Taikofu masks have holes for inserted hair at the brows, below the nose and on the chin, where long beards may originally have been attached. The features of this piece are very distinctive: a high forehead, extensive deep wrinkles, narrow eye openings, a prominent nose bridge, a slightly upturned smiling mouth and clearly carved facial contours, carrying the foreign-figure quality and dramatic tension characteristic of ancient gigaku masks.
