Japanese Tribal Art

A beautiful Japanese yunomi teacup featuring a muted green glaze with a white overlay and subtle shifts in color and texture. The work glows in the light. This little gem came from a collector of fine Japanese and Asian ceramics - a collection like no other we have seen before. The yunomi teacup has a somewhat Wabi-Sabi feel and appearance to it. Signed by the maker/artist on the base. Would be a great addition to any Asian or Japanese pottery/ceramics collection...

A lacquered wood box with lid from Japan circa 19th century Meiji Period. The finely decorated box was used to store paper slips and small documents on the desk. It is overall finished with black lacquer (kuro) with sparse Mura-Nashiji effect outside and on the top surface of the lid, there are three Komainu, (sometimes known as Shishi or Japanese lions) frolicking and forming a circle in lively motion.
