the three on the right are Japanese, 1845 ish, the far left bottle vase is Korean Japanese c1735 to 1740, somewhere i have the names of two of the studios and one of the potters
they were wrapped and stored from about 1975 in Japan, i have the newspapers, they got to Blighty as part of a mixed storage container of antiques and general "grandparent tat", which was very much in the rough
the early bird in the market spotted blue and white, and the stallholder had no idea they were far better than the tatty kendo armour, assorted dolls and other "family "stuff.
he had some nice bits, but some bits are nicer than others.
chances are the many pots worth far less (such as the super fancy shiny Meiji stuff) would have cost more or the same
i got the impression as he said £10 for the 4 he might have been wondering if he should be regretting it, maybe he thought he might have got £20 off me |

they are rather nice, i hope other folk like them and keep them safe
too nice for me, i would use the cups and "bottles", bad things would happen
a bit posh for pencil holders, sake or whisky oh dear
my pencil holders are edo cloisonné, knife and bookmarker in one, writing kit in the other, they are fairly robust even for my desk top
pretty as well as practical, they have an odd back story, family stuff spotted on a market stall, an interesting discussion, i took some stuff of no money value to bin it, paid the daft asking price for the wee cloisonnes either he had no idea or he thought asking for £3 might keep him alive til lunchtime that i could pop off to buy a golf club and be back in a minute or two was mentioned quite early in the discussion
it was nice to get them back, my grannie got them at one of her "posh house sale"outings, she had passed things on, then those came back
he thought i might want the paintings, i said something like "sell em if you can, horrible things never liked victorian " scottish rural romance" and those are rather carp and seriously browned
i took a couple of family photos to pass on, destroyed some 1920's kids schoolbooks etc and recovered two very nice small edo bronze cloisonné tat nests back for £3
the sofa and stuff did give its keeper a money buffer, but there was a table top that should have gone to the eldest female(i dont think she knows she missed out on that, i wont tell her)
hey ho, i always liked the cloisonné more than most of grannies's tat
ps i was not slacking on care etc, that auntie said she had everything planned and sorted, she did apart from the house clearance issues
i like old tat |
