About the Item
Italian Pewter and Brass Shell Centerpiece Bowl with Koi and Dolphin Motif, Stamped “Italy”, 20th Century
A whimsical and sculptural Italian centerpiece bowl in the manner of Arthur Court, crafted in pewter and brass, mid-to-late 20th century. The silver-toned shell-form bowl is richly textured with swirling lines suggestive of ocean currents. At one end, a boldly modeled brass koi fish with bulging eyes and trailing fins emerges from the rim, while the base rests on three playful dolphin-form feet in gilt brass.
Stamped "Italy" on the underside, this piece reflects the exuberant, nature-inspired decorative tradition of Italian tabletop design and recalls the aesthetic sensibility of Arthur Court’s midcentury animal-themed serveware.

Large Antique Japanese Meiji Period Bronze Floor Vase with Foo Dog Handles
Located in Morristown, NJ
Late 19th/Early 20th c., large Japanese Meiji bronze floor urn. The principal decoration on both sides of the vase is rendered in beautiful and strong relief. One side depicts birds, possibly skylarks, in flight and on flowering cherry blossom branches.

The urn is adorned with foo dog handles, unmarked. This is an impressive and beautiful bronze urn.
In bronze-working, Meiji period craftsmen were newly empowered to attempt distinctive, innovative, and complex pieces. Makers were influenced less by the West than by China, which had had a relationship with Japan stretching back thousands of years, far further than Japan’s recent association with Western powers.
