Sake Celebration

This month we recognize Sake in our Asian Antiques and in the Japanese Byobu Screens. From the pair of six fold screens entitled, "Celebration of the Sake God" to the two fold screen, "Sake Drinkers" (these ladies had to be let out of our treasure house for celebrating a little too much), it is apparent that Sake is an influence in art and culture.

ONE OF A KIND

We dug deep into the Stephen E. Earls treasure trove to find these special one of a kind items. It was very hard to come to terms to make these wonderful and rare items available but they are way too precious to keep hidden away in our vault.

  • We have gone as far as to tear off the pair of Old Doors to our vault. These 21" wide by 79.75" high Chinese doors are wonderfully outfitted with rusted iron fittings. (1130/10)


Here we have a fantastic collection of table top accessories. From left to right starting from the back we have a...

  • "Sudari" green drip glaze jar, 17" tall and highly refined earthenware from the Shigaraki area of Japan and mid-nineteenth century. (492.5/10)
  • Antique Giant Wooden Grist-Wheel from Thailand. (605/10)
  • "Tokkuri" a tall sake decanter, 14" tall with celadon drip glaze. This Japanese earthenware piece is typical of Ryomonji Kagoshima Prefecture. (380/10)
  • Old Japanese Sake Jug with pouring lip in a green drip glaze. (117.5/10)
  • Antique Earthenware Teapot with lid and iron handle again in a celadon drip glaze. This late nineteenth century Japanese teapot is from the kilns of Kagoshima Prefecture. (230/10)
  • Japanese Wooden Hibachi with extraordinary Patina Copper insert, approximately 19" wide by 16.5" deep and 8.5" high. (SOLD)
  • Our most precious treasure, a pair of hand carved puppets. Male and female partners are done up with gold leaf, in costumes that are beaded and jeweled. Superbly displayed in contemporary plexi-glass cases each 18" wide by 18" deep and 31.5" high. (4505/10)

Showroom Screening


Our February offering is our beautiful collection of traditional folding screens known as BYOBU literally meaning "protection from the wind", which were originially developed in Japan to be used as dividers both indoors and outdoors. The zig-zag construction allows them to be free standing or wall mounted. Please find below photographs of a handful of what we have on our showroom floor. There are many sizes available from two panels to six panel screens and in various motifs with many of them painted on Gold Leaf. Please stop in and view them for yourself. We look forward to seeing you.
