Japanese Studio Pottery Leaf Tray



SOLD

Beautiful leaf shaped Japanese earthenware dish with a mixture of clear and coloured glazes on the top surface. Largely unglazed underneath although the gold speckles at the tip extend around the underside edges for about 3cm. It has a mark but I'll only find out the maker's name if I find it by accident! Excellent condition.

32.5cm x 16.5cm x 3cm

Vintage Japanese Bowl - Noritake



Small double handled bowl featuring a handpainted sunset and river view. Very pastoral. It's stamped with a Noritake mark that was in use between 1905 and 1939 although I make no claims for its veracity. The style is certainly fairly typical of some of their products and the wear consistent with that kind of age. The edges would have been gold lined but most is worn away. There's a little wear to the surface of the bowl but it's not too bad and doesn't really detract. 

14cm x 12cm x 4cm

Vintage Set of Pierre Cardin Designer Lacquered Japanese Chopsticks




SOLD

Set of five pairs of black and red lacquered chopsticks and rests by Pierre Cardin. They are slender Japanese sticks and have matt charcoal grey tips. They are in the original box although regrettably the dividers and sections of the box are long gone and there are a couple of marks on the box lid. Very old and unused gift! 

Box size: 27cm x 24cm x 2cm

Stick length: 22.5cm

2 Vintage Porcelain Sake Cups and Sake Pourer - Japan.



2 porcelain sake cups and sake pourer that my parents bought in Japan when living there in the early 60s-70s.  They are decorated around the side in red and blue with 2 blue with red flowers. 

They are extremely attractive and were never used at all.  There are no cracks, chips or flea bites and the condition is excellent.

A perfect addition to any collection or simply as decoration.
