Dimensions: 30 inches high Quality: Fine quality and he brandishes a sake bottle in one hand and a sheaf of paper pages in the other.

Now hard to find these large-scale earlier examples. Hand made and hand glazed , thick heavily crafted pottery Great garden candidate! History: The Japanese raccoon dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides viverrinus), also known as tanuki (? or ??? [tan?ki]?) in Japanese, is a subspecies of the Asian raccoon dog. As tanuki, this animal has been significant in Japanese folklore since ancient times. The legendary tanuki is reputed to be mischievous and jolly, a master of disguise and shapeshifting, but somewhat gullible and absentminded. It is also a common theme in Japanese art, especially statuary and can be commonly seen in businesses as cultural symbols. Schneible Fine Arts has been dealing in fine authentic Japanese antiques including screens, garden ornaments, lanterns and water basins for many years. Mr. Schneible personally travels to Japan each year to meet his network partners who assist him in finding best examples. He personally inspects each antique to ensure its old age, authenticity, and quality condition. After accumulating a group, they are imported to Vermont and Maine in large containers. This method keeps shipping costs low and coupled with our modest gallery overhead enables us to offer works of art to you at reasonable prices. We carefully pack and ship to clients all-over the USA and at reasonable shipping costs. Lifetime guarantee of authenticity: All of our Asian works of art come with our Lifetime Authenticity Guarantee. We are members of the North American Japanese Garden Association (NAJGA) specializing for ten years now in old and authentic Japanese stone garden ornaments.

Japanese Asian Signed Glazed Pottery Ceramic Folk Art Wabi-Sabi Yunomi Teacup

Located in Studio City, CA

A beautiful Japanese yunomi teacup featuring a subtle blue-green crackle glaze. The work radiates in the light. This little gem (along with others we will be listing) came from a collector of fine Japanese and Asian ceramics - a collection like no other we have seen before. The yunomi teacup has a somewhat Wabi-Sabi feel and appearance to it. Appears to be signed by the maker/artist on the base. Would be a great addition to any Asian or Japanese pottery/ceramics collection...
