A large and impressive Japanese basket in the form of a morikago by Maeda Chikubosai I (1872-1950) circa first half of the 20th century. Chikubosai I was from the Kansai Region and active in Sakai, Osaka prefecture. He was instructed by Wada Waichisai I, (1851-1901). Morikago is a shallow open basket with handle. It was traditionally used to display fruits, sometimes flowers, during Sencha tea ceremony. In contrast to Chanoyu, Sencha ceremony uses loose green tea leaves instead of tea powder. The placement of loose fruits in the basket meant that the pattern of the bottom, which is often elaborate, was meant to be visible. This morikago was beautifully constructed with bent bamboo frame and twill plaits for the body. The bottom of the basket features a double diamond pattern achieved with a variation of plover plait. The bifurcated handles was bundle-plated with a rather free spirit approach. They show a poetic suggestion of movement, as if the bamboos were still swaying in the wind. The basket has a copper insert that fits perfectly and it is quite possibly the original. The basket is signed on the base "Chikubosai". The style of the signature shows that it was made by Maeda Chikubosai I. For another Morikago basket by Maeda Chikubosai I, see page 79 of "Masters of Bamboo" by Rinne. For the study of the signature of Chikubosai I "Baskets Master Pieces of Japanese Bamboo Art...

A handsome vintage Asian hand-hammered copper tray, dating to approximately the 1940s, distinguished by its warm polished surface and large central elephant motif. Measuring an impressive 20.5 inches in diameter, the circular tray has been worked by hand with traditional hammering and repoussé-style decoration. Concentric bands of geometric ornament frame the central elephant, creating a strong, symmetrical composition and emphasizing the craftsmanship of the metalwork. The elephant has long held an important place in the decorative traditions and symbolism of many Asian cultures, where it can be associated with strength, wisdom, longevity, protection and good fortune. Here, the animal becomes the visual centerpiece of the design, giving the tray considerably more character than a conventional geometric copper charger. The hand-worked copper bowl surface has a rich, luminous quality, with subtle variations and irregularities characteristic of individually crafted metalwork. Its polished finish catches the light beautifully while retaining the warmth and depth associated with aged copper. Originally conceived as a large decorative tray or charger, the piece is particularly versatile in a contemporary interior. The large copper bowl can be displayed flat on a large coffee table, ottoman or console, incorporated into a collection of Asian and ethnographic objects, or displayed vertically as wall art. A hook is already fitted to the reverse for hanging, making it especially effective as a sculptural wall plaque, bowl. Its combination of substantial scale, figurative decoration and handcrafted surface makes it an attractive example of mid-20th-century Asian decorative metalwork, equally suited to an eclectic collector's interior or a restrained contemporary setting where the aged copper provides warmth and texture. Good vintage condition with appropriate surface variation and wear consistent with age and handcrafted construction. Dimensions: 20.5 in. diameter × 3 in. deep Date: circa 1940s Material: Copper Techniques: Hand-hammered, repoussé / embossed decoration, polished Style: Asian / Folk Art / Ethnographic Use: Decorative tray, charger, wall plaque or wall sculpture Asian copper tray, vintage copper elephant tray, hammered copper tray, elephant wall plaque, Asian metalwork, copper wall decor, elephant wall art...

Created while a lead designer for J. Winhart & Co., Ludwig Vierthaler’s cicada themed copper vase showcases the design principles which he developed at J. Winhart in the pre-war years, where emphasis was placed on craftsmanship and the characteristics of the material itself. The vase’s ambiguous quality and use of allegory also shows his uncanny understanding of the dual nature of German life at the time. On the one hand, under Kaiser Wilhelm II, Germany was asserting herself strongly in the Weltpolitik through alliances with other central-European powers and in making grand plans to grow in military strength. With hindsight, Vierthaler’s vase is all the more remarkable for his prescience in the twilight of an empire. By presenting a cicada, he evokes a conundrum. Is this cicada a strong adult, newly emerged from a long dormancy? Or is this the cicada...
