About the Item
A Superb and Very Large Japanese Vase
Superb colour and patina
Bronze, silver (underside of base missing) old silver repairs to 'fissures' and firing faults
Japan
19th Century
SIZE: 91.5cm high, 66cm dia. (max) - 36 ins high, 26 ins dia. (max)
PROVENANCE:
French Art Market 2010
Ex Private collection
A superb and very large high necked vase with a large bulbous ‘gadrooned’ base. The overall colour and patina suggest a period of time outside, where the vase may have formed part of a ‘scholars’ garden. The colour and patina gained from this exposure have created a wonderful ‘mellow’ colour and deep ‘glow’. Old ‘fissures’ and firing faults repaired with silver inlay. The base is missing, either through ‘firing’ or maybe at a later date with European mounts or electrification ?. The impressive size suggest this vase was destined, for either a Palace or high ranking official residence.

- A Very Rare and Early Northwest Coast Maternity FigureLocated in London, GBA Very Rare and Early Northwest Coast Maternity Figure Aged patina through handling Wood Kwakiutl (Kwakwaka ‘wakw’) Northwest Coast America / Nootka 19th Century SIZE: 20cm high - 8 ins high PROVENANCE: Adam Prout, UK Ex Private collection The elegant seated female figure holds her baby upon her knees, cradling the suckling infant’s head. The female figure displays a very distinctive ‘conical’ shaped hair-style, although the domed forehead, which was flattened artificially, was practiced by the Kosimo (Salish). The Kwakiutl are one of several indigenous First Nations that inhabit the western coast of British Columbia, Canada, from central and northern Vancouver Island to the adjacent mainland coast. The Kwakwaka'wakw, or ‘Kwak´wala-speaking people’, live along the Pacific Northwest coast of British Columbia. The tribes once numbered twenty-eighty, who lived on northern Vancouver Island and the adjacent mainland. They are known for the ‘potlatch’ ceremony which in Kwak'waka literally means ‘to give’. The ceremony marks all the important moments in the life of the Kwakwaka’wakw: birth, marriage and death in particular. It is a jubilant celebration organised by the chief of a tribe or a host, during which offerings are offered, masks exhibited and dances staged. Much of our early knowledge about the Kwakiutl is attributed to Franz Boas...Category
