Japanese Chōjū-giga Inspired Tea Bowl

Kozan-ji Choju Giga Aka-e Rabbit and Frog Matcha Bowl

A vintage Japanese matcha bowl, decorated with inspiration from the Choju Giga (Frolicking Animals scrolls), one of the most representative works of traditional Japanese art, bringing the lively anthropomorphized poses of rabbits, frogs and other animals onto a warm, understated ceramic vessel. The Choju Giga is a celebrated classical Japanese picture scroll, and the surviving work has deep ties to Kozan-ji temple in Toganoo, Kyoto. In the painting, rabbits, frogs, monkeys and other animals imitate human activities, and the spirited brushwork presents scenes full of humor and vitality. Particularly worth noting is the side of the bowl, which bears the characters "Kozan-ji" within a rectangular frame, echoing the Choju Giga theme and giving the whole piece a distinctly classical Japanese artistic character.

Ota Shippo Japanese Cloisonné Rose Vase

Ota Cloisonné Works — Fine Art Cloisonné Vase with Rose Design on Emerald Green

A fine art cloisonné vase from Japan's Ota Cloisonné Works; the most striking first impression is its exceptionally deep emerald green. The body follows the classic long-necked vase proportion: the mouth flares slightly, the shoulder is rounded, and the form tapers gradually toward the base. At 19 cm the vase is not large, yet the form is thoroughly resolved and well balanced. What is truly remarkable is the surface decoration. The deep emerald ground is not a flat, monotonous expanse of green; very fine textures and shifts of luster can be seen across it. Under different angles and lighting it moves from ink green to emerald with varying depth, giving the body a gem-like visual depth. The front is decorated with a group of blooming roses, red and white blossoms unfurling upward from leafy stems — the red flowers rich and vivid, the white ones soft — while leaves are rendered in greens of varying depth so the flowers emerge from the dark ground. The overall effect is not flamboyantly gilded and showy, but a composed, sumptuous beauty with a distinctly Japanese craft sensibility.

Japanese Akahada Ware Ceramic Horse

Japanese Akahada Ware｜White-Glazed Saddled Horse Ceramic Figure・Ancient-Pottery-Style Horse Ornament・Original Wooden Tomobako

This piece has very much the air of Japanese ancient pottery and tea-room display. Unlike realistic, elaborate horse sculptures, it renders a standing horse fitted with a saddle in a slightly rustic ceramic idiom, covered throughout in a mellow milky white to off-white glaze, with the clay body and a pale brown tone showing naturally in places; the lines are simple and composed. The base bears the two characters "赤膚" (Akahada) together with a circular kiln seal, so the piece can be clearly identified as Akahada ware. Akahada ware is one of Nara's representative traditional ceramics, and this work takes up the horse—a classic subject in Japanese art. The head inclines slightly forward, the ears stand erect, and the mane is expressed with simple incised lines; on the body one can see the saddle, breast strap and decorative circular patterns. It does not strive for highly detailed muscular realism, but precisely for that reason one feels all the more the simplification, rustic quality and quiet stillness particular to Japanese ceramic sculpture.

Vintage Japanese Glazed Ceramic Fat Cat

Japanese Vintage｜Large Ceramic Lucky Cat Figure・Kiln-Transformed Flowing Glaze・Plump Cat Form

This is a Japanese vintage ceramic cat figure that makes you look twice at first glance. Unlike the common maneki-neko with a raised paw, here the star is a round, plump and very auspicious-looking cat, its body simplified almost into a full, generous sphere, leaving only small ears, whiskers, four limbs and a tail curling around the front—rich in Japanese mingei charm. The truly beautiful part is the kiln-transformed flowing glaze on the surface. Olive green, gray-green and brown blend together, the glaze running naturally downward to form irregular textures like rock and moss, giving this seemingly cute plump cat an added quality of studio ceramic art.

Vintage Calla Lily Stained Glass Table Lamp

Japanese Vintage｜Calla Lily Leaded Art Glass Table Lamp・Cast Copper Floral Base・Art Nouveau Style

The most captivating thing about this lamp is that it is not merely a lighting fixture but a decorative object for the room, steeped in Art Nouveau style. A slender, gently curving stem rises upward, topped by a leaded glass shade that droops naturally like a blossom; within the composition a white calla lily unfurls from among blue-green glass, offering both botanical softness and the composed quality particular to old lighting. Especially worth noting is the original Japanese fixture specification label still visible on the base, marked 100V／E26 socket／60W×1—a detail of genuine interest to anyone who loves Japanese vintage lighting.

Showa Vintage Fruit Still Life Art Glass

Japanese Showa Vintage｜Painted Art Glass with Fruit Still Life・Large Wood-Framed Glass Wall Panel

The subject is thoroughly appealing—a footed compote laden with fruit. At the center stands a white classical footed fruit vessel, its body bearing flower- and leaf-like decorative patterns; piled within are purple-red grapes, yellow and green pears, red fruits and more, each rendered in high-chroma blocks of color. The background makes generous use of lake blue, royal blue and deep blue, with sweeping horizontal curves that lend this otherwise still composition a rippling, water-like rhythm. Most interesting is the painting technique. Rather than pursuing the light and shadow of traditional realist still life, it separates each area of color with dark outlines, so from a distance it resembles church stained glass or European stained glass work; up close, one senses the vivid colors particular to Showa-era Japanese Western-style decorative art. This blend of "Japanese making × Western decorative vocabulary" is itself very much of the Showa era. (Some wear to the wooden frame.)

Vintage Industrial Adjustable High Stool

European Vintage｜Industrial-Style Wooden Height-Adjustable Bar Stool・Iron Footrest Ring・Old Bar Work Chair

This is a European vintage industrial-style bar stool with considerable presence. The overall design carries no ornate carving; it begins from practicality: a thick round wooden seat provides the sitting surface, a wide wooden backrest is set above, a slender dark structure supports it below, and a full metal ring serves as a footrest. What makes furniture like this truly appealing is that it does not hide its years. The surface of the round wooden seat clearly shows abundant rub marks, scratches and color variations of differing depths; the backrest likewise retains natural wear. The dark wood paired with the oxidized metal footrest ring gives the whole piece a very natural old industrial character. For this reason it feels completely different from the many "distressed" industrial-style pieces on the market today—it is not furniture made to look old, but furniture on which time has genuinely left its traces.

Spanish Revival Tooled Leather Tripod Chair

European Vintage｜Spanish-Style Embossed Leather and Studded Three-Leg Wooden Chair・Knight and Castle Motif

The most captivating quality of this strongly Spanish-style three-leg chair is that it abandons the squared, regular structure of ordinary furniture. Instead, a long, narrow tall backboard extends downward, joined by a horizontal seat board and three legs, creating an outline that feels remarkably primitive and powerful. The leather surface displays a rich array of motifs, including figures resembling knights, castle architecture, heraldic shields, floral and foliate patterns, and geometric borders, with embossing of varying depths producing a three-dimensional effect. The knight/figure image at the center of the tall back, combined with the Gothic-like trefoil openwork above it, gives the whole chair a strong medieval European feel. Openwork decoration also appears on both sides of the seat, so even if it is never actually used for sitting, placed on its own in a room it is a piece of furniture with tremendous presence.

Antique-Style Opera Glasses

European Antique | Opera Glasses with Figural Painting・Mother-of-Pearl Style Decoration

Opera glasses (theater binoculars) are small binoculars developed specifically for watching performances in theaters, opera houses and concert halls. Compared with ordinary outdoor binoculars, they place greater emphasis on lightness, elegance and decorative quality, so many examples incorporate metal ornamentation, enamel painting and mother-of-pearl into the body, and they gradually became a highly representative personal accessory in European social and theater culture. This piece uses a very refined gold-toned metal frame, with figural painting decorating the outer side of each barrel. The figures wear classical dress, rendered in soft tones of pink, blue, yellow and brown, giving the scene the air of European classical painting and Romanticism. Along the upper edge of both barrels and at the central focusing section, a milky-white decorative material with fine texture can be seen, set off against the gold body and lending the whole piece a jewel-like refinement. This is not the function-driven design of modern binoculars; it is more like an aesthetically minded personal object that people of the past would carry with them when entering the theater.
