Japanese Precious "Shikoku" Blue Stone Water Basin Tsukubai Finest Quality
About the Item
Precious Natural & Mesmerizing Blue Stone Basin Tsukubai
Japan, a large, handsome and unique antique natural organic shaped stone water basin planter -tsukubai- created from rare blue shikoku stone and sourced from a decades old garden. This is a unique and visually attractive garden planter or water basin fashioned by nature out of a solid blue-ish granite type of stone coming from southern Japan.
Also known as lyo stone, it is a very valuable Japanese stone type full of character. Shikoku stones are seen as national cultural heritage by the Japanese government, making export very difficult.
Thanks to our strong bond we share with our Japanese partners who assist us in finding best antiques , we are able to offer this superb large example.
One of a kind and coming from a sixty year old Nagoya antique garden ornaments collection.
Substantial Dimensions: 19 inches tall and 38 inches wide and 22 inches deep, heavy
This tsukubai possesses unique qualities and represents one of the finest old world Japanese garden antiques we have been fortunate to locate in our most recent Japanese acquisitions travels.
Appropriate for tea garden “purification” entry areas, they also make wonderful contemporary artistic statements as water/floating flower vessels, planters, or as eye appealing, stand alone work of art placed in your favorite space.
Beautiful design. Only one.
Whether you install flowers, leafy vines, succulents, stones , or floating flowers in glistening water- this rare shaped stone basin will never cease to amaze.
History:
Water basins Tsukubai are singularly the most popular, frequent and practical garden ornament found in Japanese gardens. They symbolize Buddhist “purification” and are usually strategically placed in gardens or as an indoor entry tokanoma accent to allow visitors opportunity to cleanse hands prior to participating in a tea ceremony event or before honoring a shrine or temple. These kinds welcome visitors to stop and bow in a respectful, humble manner to perform purification of body and soul ritual.

Japanese Antique Gourd and Eggplant Vase- Brilliant Colors
Located in South Burlington, VT
Another Gem
Japan, a fine substantial 11" tall antique monumental green and blue gourd shaped vase with unusual blue egg plant decoration glazed in rich deep green, blue, and brown colored crackled drip glazes.
It was crafted by the master artisans of the Japanese southern Awaji Kiln, from the late Meiji to Taisho period (1910s-1920s).
The impressive porcelain vase crafted in a classic wabi sabi modernist form with an original multi glazed finish. It is unsigned as many normally were from that period and is in original condition with normal kiln origination surface creation imperfections on bottom.
Dimensions: 11 inches tall and 5.5 inches diameter..
Provenance: private north west coast collection.
Undoubtedly influenced by the modernist movement and more likely by the visit to the Awaji kilns by the noted English designer Christopher Dresser of Linthorpe Art Pottery...
