Japanese Bronze/Copper Pricket Candlestands A pair of Japanese pricket bronze or copper alloy candlesticks., measuring 9 1/2 x 3 ins., dating to the late 19th - early 20th century. The candlesticks separate into four pieces - the base, the neck and two circular surrounds. The bulbous base is supported by three dragon feet. The body narrows then flares to a second, smaller bulb that is decorated with three relief figures, possibly GuanYin. The second bulb tapers abruptly to a narrow, turned neck. There is a flying cranes with joined wings lower surround and a smaller, 8-petal lotus leaf base beneath the pricket. The base is signed in raised kanji in what appears to be: NAOTOSHI. The candlesticks are in fine and original condition.  

Chinese Figural Bronze Mug A Chinese bronze mug, measuring 8 1/2 x 5 ins. The mug was cast in the shape of a lion or dragon with the tongue extending up to form the handle. The interior shows old, encrusted dirt accumulation from burial. The exterior has a rich, green-brown patina. Although of early Chinese design, I believe that this mug is a more recent copy made within the last 100 years.  

Japanese Butterfly Pouch Clasp A Japanese copper-based mixed metals pouch clasp in the shape of a butterfly, measuring approximately 2 cms. across, dating to the late 19th - 20th century. This can have a pin added to the back to make an interesting accent piece or tie tack.  

Chinese Silver and Turquoise Pendant A Chinese sliver and turquoise pendant of a horse, measuring 1 1/2 X 1 1/4 ins, and 3 ins. with the chain, dating to the late 19th - early 20th century. This piece may have served as part of a chatelaine or simply as a decorative ornament.  

Pr. Japanese Bronze Lobed Vases <p><b>A fine pair of Japanese bronze vases, measuring approximately 10 ins. in height and 5 ins. at their widest, dating to the late 19th -early 20th century. The vases have raised designs of complimentary but not identical birds. They have been cast in a 6-lobed design. The bases are unmarked. These vases are in fine and original condition with their original patina.  

Japanese Metal Brush Holder or Vase A fine Japanese mixed metal brush holder or sleeve vase, measuring 9 1/2 ins. high and 3 1/2 ins. across.</b> The body is made of a copper alloy that has been treated to give it a mossy green patina. The artist has used raised and flat silver and copper alloy metals to create a bird and chrysanthemum design. Portions of the design are gold-chased. It is unsigned and in fine and original condition. I date this to the mid 20th century.
