Antique Japanese Inro by Shigehide Edo Period
Located in Atlanta, GA
This exquisite four-case lacquered inro was dated to the latter part of 18th century to early 19th century (Edo period) and made by Shigehide. The opposite sides of the inro together features a lavish flower arrangement in a bamboo basket (ikebana). The detailed craftmanship was a true pleasure to behold. Mostly Takamaki-e (high relief) were used to texturize the delicate petals of the chrysanthemums, on which different shades of gold were used to create contrast. Raden (mother of pearl) shells were also used to highlight some leaves, rendering the piece an interesting balance of color and material. The interior was completed in a mottled gold finish. It was signed Shigehide on the bottom with a Kao. There is a small carved rabbit ojime bead...

Antique Kangxi Amsterdam Bont Porcelain Bowl Chinese Polychrome, 18th Century
Located in Amsterdam, Noord Holland
A very nicely made 18th century Kangxi Amsterdam Bont porcelain bowl. Marked at the base. We take a look at Amsterdams Bont porcelain from China. A relatively unknown niche of Chinese porcelain from ca 1680-1740 that was partly decorated in Europe. Because mainstream Chinese collectors have yet to discover the historical significance of these wares they are relatively easy to find in Holland. While also being highly interesting and of often super quality and with an amazing array of decorations. Amsterdams Bont is a name given to porcelain partly decorated in the Netherlands (most likely in cities like Delft, Haarlem, Makkum). Because Amsterdam was at this moment in time the trade centre of the western world and also of the porcelain trade a lot of this over enamelling was probably commissioned by Amsterdam merchants, to reap higher profits on otherwise boring Chinese wares. The name Amsterdam Bont probably derives from the fact that these type of decorated ware was sold by Amsterdam Merchants. Amsterdam Bont consists of either blanc or under glaze blue decorated Chinese porcelain of basic quality, that was later enhanced with red and sometimes other colours in the Netherlands. It must not be mistaken for other type of Chinese & Japanese blanc wares decorated in Europe. Those we simply call European Decorated Chinese porcelain. Amsterdam Bont really is easily recognisable by its colour and style. An interesting side note is that a similar process of overdecorating with red was done in London in more or less the same colours. Method of manufacturing. This enhancemend was done on “petit feux” or small fire at a lower temperature. This technique of baking enamels on a lower temperature that was perfected in the Delft around 1670-1680 to compete with the colourfull Japanese porcelain of the time. At the turn of the 17th c Chinese...

A Monumental 18/19th C. French Ormolu Mounted Grey Marble Covered Urn w/ Handles
Located in New York, NY
A Monumental Late 1700's/Early 1800's French Ormolu Mounted Marble Covered Urn Presenting an extraordinary Monumental 18/19th Century French Ormolu Mounted Marble Covered Urn. Crafted with meticulous precision, this exquisite urn showcases a captivating blend of materials and intricate ornamentation. The urn features a splendid mid-toned grey uniformly patterned marble, skillfully carved into a rounded bulb. Both the lid and body of the urn gracefully mimic the contours of an egg, lending an harmonious and organic appeal to the overall design. Adorning the base of the body are carved ormolu ferns, beautifully encircling the bottom of the belly as it descends to a marble pedestal that is ringed at the bottom with an ormolu wreath resting atop a stunning cubic stepped deep-green marble plinth. Crowning the urn is a pineapple finial, exquisitely crafted from ormolu bronze. Encircling the base of this handle, one can admire a delicate ring of foliate ormolu bronze, adding a touch of sophistication to the composition. The handles on either side of the urn are a delightful departure from the conventional, boasting ribbed, angled, and bent-square ormolu designs. This unexpected detail adds a refreshing and distinctive element to the overall aesthetic. To further enhance its grandeur, the grey marble urn is adorned with ornate and delicate foliate ormolu bronze scrolls. These intricate scrolls gracefully meander along the belly of the urn, lending a sense of opulence and refinement to the piece. In terms of size, this Monumental 18/19th Century French Ormolu Mounted Marble Covered Urn commands attention with its substantial proportions. Standing tall and proud, its dimensions convey magnificence and presence, truly befitting its status as a significant antique artifact...
