Antique Black Nippon Footed Vase For sale is an antique black Nippon footed vase. c:pre 1921. My research indicates this may be known as 'black Nippon' which was pottery made to resemble Chinese bronze of 400 years ago. This vase has 3 feet; and a bronze and black like finish. It has an incised mark: 'Made in Nippon' as well as a date or artist's mark in a square, (symbols too tiny to make out). It is in overall 'good antique' condition. There is a 2 inch scratch on interior side of vase; it does not appear to be a hairline, just a scratch; and some paint loss flakes on interior bottom; price is same anyway since this is what is likely a 'rare' item. It is 4.25 tall x 8.5 wide from rim to rim; at bottom rim it is 9.5 wide. Open to reasonable offers. What is known for sure is that it was made pre 1921.
Circa: pre 1921

Vintage Koppit Basket For sale is a vintage Koppit basket. Fabulous, beautifully made, tightly woven basket called a 'Koppit' basket; good condition, only the strap handle is showing some wear. Internet research shows an identical basket on 2 museum sites, one has a collection of items from the 1890's; and these are said to have been made in the Phillipines. This basket has a nice darkened patina on it. Not sure of what the function of this basket was, but it is very tightly woven and well-made. This basket has three compartments, maybe for sewing items or fishing or pipe & tobacco basket? Each compartment fits into each other and the woven handle holds it all together. It is 9.5 long x 6 high x 4 wide. When you pull the top piece up, there appears to be some type of resin on each of the four bottom corners of the next basket part and there is a shallow basket, then when you pull that piece up you get a deeper basket. A true work of art!

Signed Vintage Oriental Dragon Vase For sale is a signed vintage oriental dragon vase. Large, heavy-duty vase; perhaps a Bonsai dish garden. This vase appears to be hand made on a pottery wheel; it has ridges on interior; and has a majolica like glaze, and raised dragon circling rim. No cracks but does have some minor flaws: the dragon's tongue is chipped, a fang has a fleabite, some fleabites on upper rim of snake's body, and one of the 3 feet on bottom is chipped which doesn't affect stance. Because this item is so incredibly detailed the flaws are not apparent unless searching for them. There also appears to be an artist's signature, (incised mark) on bottom, but I cannot determine what it reads. This vase is 11 inches wide x 4.75 tall. This is vintage, and probably antique; it came from an estate auction and the former collector had a lot of antique oriental garden statutary, bonsai dishes, bronze, etc. Unfortunately, the pictures are not capturing how exceptional this vase really is.
