Set of 3 Chinese Porcelain Kosometsuke Plates Tiger & Horse, ca 1600-1660
Located in Amsterdam, Noord Holland
Superb antique Chinese porcelain zhadou. Blue de Hue porcelain for the Vietnamese market. Decorated with butterflies, flowers and bats. The porcelain is almost like soft paste from the Qianlong period.
Such small 'zhadou' were used as table-top slops jars rather than as floor spittoons. When making tea, the Chinese first rinse the cups and teapot in boiling water to cleanse and warm them. Such water would be jettisoned into a 'zhadou' along with tea dregs and other waste.
Blue de hue porcelain
From the 1700s onwards, kings of the Le-Trinh dynasty in Vietnam ordered porcelain from China for their court. This type is named after Hue, the 19th-century capital of the last royal dynasty in Vietnam, the Nguyen dynasty...

Mid 17th Century Dutch Engraved Silver Wedding Casket or knottekist, Circa 1660
Located in Oxfordshire, United Kingdom
A museum-grade mid-17th century Dutch silver marriage casket or knottekistje, circa 1660.
Raised on solid silver bun feet the miniature casket is profusely engraved to all faces depicting a courting couple and architecture entwined in scrolling foliage. The reverse of the casket depicts the last supper, however, if you look closely, you can see a boy stealing food or wine from underneath! Possibly, this is the courting gentleman showing that he had a sense of humour.
The scratch lined moulded top is surmounted with an intricate handle (once gilt) and floral patera to the centre. There are two inscriptions each within a cartouche 'In Lÿfde Beltact het al' and 'Getrouw tot in den doot' which loosely translates to 'faithful until the death' and 'love is everything'.

Beautifully shaped black earthenware/16th-17th century/Wabi-sabi vase
Located in Sammu-shi, Chiba
I would like to introduce you to a very beautiful form of time.
This is probably an earthenware vessel made in Peru, South America.
In Peru, there are many earthenware with many round curves, and many of them have polished and smooth surfaces.
There are many objects with complicated shapes, but there are also objects with simple and practical shapes like this excavated.
This one is black, but I think it originally had pale pink skin.
However, it has turned black due to soot and charring.
There is surface deterioration, but the condition is good and there are no major scratches.
Please use it carefully because it is light and thin.
It is a very beautiful curved vase.
