Antique Pair of Chinese Bronze Foo Dogs Good Detail, Qing Dynasty
Located in Lincoln, Lincolnshire
These are a very good pair of antique Chinese foo or lion dog sculptures, sometimes called temple lions, made of bronze, with good detail, which we date to the Qing dynasty, late 18th to early 19th Century.
These pieces are well cast with very good detail, showing wear to the high points as expected from use and polishing over a long period, the lustrous copper bronze metal below. The places on the castings where one would not normally polish ( eg. the underside, the back and neck area) are fairly rough to the touch in keeping with their age
These are a substantial pair of bronzes, weighing over 900gm unpacked
Overall a lovely pair of antique Chinese foo dogs...

Japanese Sterling Silver Chrysanthemum Dish Meiji Period
By Musashiya
Located in Atlanta, GA
An exquisite Japanese sterling silver ornamental bonbon dish, circa 1890-1900. The piece was rendered in the shape of a stemmed branch of chrysanthemum blossom and was made for export market. Both botanically realistic and stylish, the piece showcases a high degree of artisanal sensitivity and technical ability of the silversmith who created this lovely piece. The petals that form the exteriors were outlined with deep and fluid relief lines of sculptural quality. The branches and leaves were rendered with attentions to the smallest details, with molding and surface texturizing using chasing in contrast with hammering. The interior of the dish is equipped with a conforming inner dish and when it is taken out, revealing the chased lines. The piece, although practical, is basically an okimono in sculptural form, a work of art on its own. It weighs about 22 ounces.
Under the dish, it is marked "Pure Silver" in Kanji and SM in a rectangular cartouche. The research (carried out by Adrien Von Ferscht, an expert and author on Asian Export Silver) identified it to be Sadajiro Musashiya...
