Watercolor Portrait of a Fashionable Woman Wearing a Turban by Henry Edridge, A.R.A. (London 1769–1821) signed and dated 'H. Edridge / 1818' (lower left) pencil and watercolor heightened with white, on paper Executed in 1818, this highly finished drawing stands as a prime example of Henry Edridge's late, celebrated portrait style. It perfectly captures the sartorial elegance of the late British Regency period. By the turn of the nineteenth century, Edridge had established a highly lucrative London practice. He was patronized heavily by the royal family and prominent members of high society.

This pair of signed Gyokusan Japanese Satsuma vases showcases a striking black and gold aesthetic, crafted from earthenware pottery. Each vase features hand-painted gold gilt decoration and is adorned with an elegant bamboo motif. The gold paint is applied with fine detail to create texture and depth in the bamboo stalks and leaves. Gyokuzan refers to a prominent master artist associated with high-quality Meiji-period Satsuma ware. Gyokuzan was a pivotal figure in Satsuma pottery, known for sophisticated designs during the Meiji period (1868–1912). While traditional Satsuma often uses an ivory crackled glaze, "black and gold" variants are highly prized for their dramatic contrast. The signature on each Satsuma vase may be that of Shibayama, followed by the character for "painted by". It is a recognized artist signature found on high-quality Satsuma ware from the Meiji period (1868–1912). The use of gold lacquer-like gilding on a deep black background is a hallmark of "Black Satsuma...
