Subject:Need Help w/Id Japanese Vase/Cup w/Script
Posted By: Jim Sun, Feb 03, 2019 IP: 73.2.14.32 hi everyone. i just found this piece and i find it fascinating. It's a very finely made cup or vase with what appears to be Japanese script and other marks etched into one side of it. i could swear the materials are metal, but who knows. what's striking about it is the quality with which it was made. The cup stands just over 4.25 inches in height. i'm hoping someone out there knows what it is. what does the script say? are those other marks artist marks? how old is this? any help would be greatly appreciated...thanks |

Posted By: Jim Fri, Feb 08, 2019 thank you for your help. it's a beautiful sentiment. i've thought that it might be a brush holder too. not pictured is the inside of the cup, and there's corrosion and/or debris at the bottom consistent with that possible use. i'm still hoping to attach an approximate age to this piece. also, you mention "sino-japanese." with the cartouch a Korean name. would the origin of this piece most likely be Korean? |
