Japanese porcelain okimono 置物 of a sitting child, by Sakaida Kakiemon XII
Located in Amsterdam, NL
Exquisite white glazed porcelain figure (okimono) of a sitting child holding a spray of chrysanthemum flowers with cobalt blue glazed leaves in its hand, by Sakaida Kakiemon XII (1878–1963). The milk white glaze is called nigoshide a type of technique which was not continued at the end of the Edo period, and is the famous rediscovery done by Sakaida Kakiemon XII in 1953. The bottom signed ‘Kakiemon’. Sakaida Kakiemon XII assumed the family title on the death of his father, Sakaida Kakiemon XI, in 1917. Earlier he had graduated from the Arita Apprentice School and then studied ceramics with his father. Initially he worked in the traditional Kakiemon style, echoing the work of his forbears in the 17th and 18th centuries. He began working with his own son in 1924, after the future Kakiemon XIII graduated from the Arita Industrial School. Together in 1953 they succeeded in recreating the classical Kakiemon technique for producing a nigoshide milky-white porcelain body. This technique was designated a national cultural treasure meriting preservation and protection by the Cultural Protection Committee in 1955. That same year he exhibited at the 2nd Japan Traditional Crafts Exhibition (Nihon Dento Kogei-ten) for the first time, winning a prize for his entry. In 1958, he exhibited at the World Exposition...

Large Chinese Natural Translucent Untreated Jadeite Flower Cat Birds Carving 20c
Located in Richmond, CA
This modern Chinese sculpture, standing at an impressive 10 inches on its stand, is a masterful representation of contemporary jadeite craftsmanship, particularly from the renowned Suzhou tradition. Carved from natural, untreated jadeite, the sculpture presents a captivating scene of a blooming flower, complete with two small birds perched atop and a preying feline lurking beneath the intricately carved canopy of leaves and petals. The jadeite material selected for this piece is of exceptional quality, exhibiting a pale celadon green hue that is both translucent and rich in lustre, reminiscent of the finest examples of jadeite. The translucency of the material enhances the sculpture's visual appeal, allowing light to filter through and illuminate the delicate details of the carving, while the wet lustre finish adds a sense of depth and vibrancy to the piece. The scene depicted is one of natural harmony and beauty, yet it is imbued with the dynamic tension of the natural world, as evidenced by the presence of the preying feline. This juxtaposition adds a layer of narrative depth to the sculpture, making it not just a decorative item but a work of art that tells a story. Crafted with the fine modern techniques of Suzhou jadeite craftsmanship, this sculpture is a testament to the skill and artistry of contemporary jade carvers, who continue to uphold the rich traditions of Chinese jade carving...
