Chinese Export Silver Bowl and Spoon
Located in New Orleans, LA
This delightful and extremely rare spoon and bowl pair exemplifies the remarkable artistry of Chinese export silver. Chinese silver pieces are renowned for their exceptional quality and unique designs, and the majority are entirely hand crafted. Today, many of these elaborate designs are housed in major museum collections, and remain a rarity on the market.
Beginning in the 18th century, silver workshops in China specialized in the manufacture of silver export pieces for Western audiences. Typically bearing motifs that were popular amongst Americans and Europeans such as dragons, bamboo and floral patterns, these charming pieces were all beautifully handcrafted with the utmost skill. Today, important pieces of Chinese export silver such as this one can be found in many of the major museum collections, and are highly valued amongst collectors.
The bowl boasts a fluid, undulating rim exquisitely engraved to depict bamboo, a motif which continues throughout the bowls body. Accompanying the bowl is a matching silver spoon, its handle intricately modeled as a vine with floral buds climbing upwards to its bowl, which seems to bloom with lovely applied buds and flowers.
The spoon features the mark of Wing Fat, a firm active in Hong Kong from 1875-1930 and Sing Fat...

Made in the early 20th century (late Meiji/early Taisho period), the piece has articulated limbs, antennae, body and tail. A superb example of the Myochin style.

Chinese Arcaistic Style Cast Bronze Lidded Urn with Carved Jade Finial
Located in Hudson, NY
This very finely cast bronze urn in an archaistic form was made in the very late 19th century approximately 1895-1900. Done with an apocryphal feeling to honor the ancient past, the vase is beautifully rendered in low relief in bronze covering almost the entire body of the urn. The predominant features are the divided taotie masks that compose the swelling middle body of the vase and also at the corners of the upper section. Crisp but subtle, the casting is clearly handled with great attention to linear form. The patina is very nice and consists of a modeled golden brown with a slight but very lite Verdigris color. The urn has an old rosewood base and lid that seems to have been purpose made for the object. Finally, the whole is set off with a carved jade finial...

Japanese Bronze Incense Burner, Koro, w/ Kirin, Taisho Period, circa 1920 Japan
Located in Austin, TX
An elegant Japanese cast and lacquered bronze incense burner, koro, topped with a mythical kirin, Taisho Period, circa 1920, Japan.
The tall koro of tripod form, with three elegant legs with outward curved feet resting on an integral circular base. The compressed body cast with a delightful scene of a pair of birds roosting on branches of flowering plum. A pair of monster masks adorn the sides. Rising from the top of their heads are a dramatic pair of horns, joined at the top, in the form of a Buddhist mandorla. The monster mask theme continues below, with their tongues forming the legs.
The pierced cover of the koro features a fantastic kirin (qilin in Chinese), a mythical chimeric animal with the head of horned dragon, body of a deer, and legs and hooves of a horse. Despite its ferocious appearance, the kirin is a benevolent animal, whose appearance foretells the arrival or passing of a great sage or ruler.
