Japanese Antique Gourd and Eggplant Vase
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).

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...

Rare Japanese stone guardian dog/1800s/Small "Koma-inu"/Lion figurine
Located in Sammu-shi, Chiba
There are two guardian dogs sitting in front of the temples and shrines in Japan.
This is a familiar sight.
In Japan, there are two divine beasts: [sisi] (lion) and [koma-inu] (guardian dog).
[sisi] is a divine beast that was brought over from China and is modeled after a lion.
[koma-inu] is similar to [sisi] and is a divine beast brought from Korea.
Both are talismans.
Around the 10th century, lions and guardian dogs were considered separate entities, but in modern times, lions enshrined in shrines and temples are recognized as koma-inu.
Please see the attached reference photo.
It is thought that this child's guardian dog was also displayed in a small temple.
It looks small and cute, but it is well sculpted.
It is in very good condition with no major damage.
The material is sandstone.
It is thought to have been produced in the 1800s, around the latter half of the Edo period.
There are various stone guardian...
