$150 USDHardstone Buddha Carved In Natural Rock - c. Early 1900s
Collectibles:Oriental:Carved Hardstone:Buddha:Natural Rock
This is one of two wonderful carved hardstone Buddhas that are carved into the natural stone, leaving the natural stone to enclose the back. I love this, since it can be used as a wonderful lesson for your kids. Show them the natural hardstone exterior, and tell them that unless they looked inside, they would have not known something beautiful, and compare the situation to people. If you simply stop at the outside appearance, you might miss a truly beautiful person. This fascinating piece ...

$350 USDJapanese Carved Ivory Netsuke - Stylized Bird - Signed
Collectibles:Oriental:Netsuke:Ivory:Japanesew:Stylized Bird:Asian:Bird:Japan
This is a very desirable netsuke for several reasons. First, the depiction of a stylized bird is relatively rare in netsukes. This is a signed piece, and very well carved. It has inlaid eyes, a very nice incised feather pattern, and is in Very Good to Excellent Condition with only very minimal signs of wear. The Himotoshi are well carved with a circle edge. It measures a bit over 2 inches in length, and nearly 2 inches in width. The face and expression really appeal to me. It reminds me of a ...
$150 USD SaleSALE Lovely and Serene Carved Jadeite Meditation Buddha
Collectibles:Oriental:Buddha:Jadeite:Hardstone
This is a very calm and serene piece; one that denotes and seems to generate harmony in its area. It stands 8 inches tall, and is in Very Good Condition. It is Light Green Jadeite with some darker rivering throughout. This is quite heavy for its size.
$35 USDLaughing Buddha, Hotei, Reclining, With Fan
Collectibles:Oriental:Buddha:Laughing Buddha:Chinese:China:Reclining Buddha:Hotei:Zen Monk:Paperweight:Presse Papiers
The Chinese have many Buddhas. This particular Buddha, the Laughing Buddha, or Hotei, is my personal favorite. What I have tried to do is give a large selection of potential holiday gifts. Since Hotei has always been considered lucky (especially if you rub his tummy), this is a nice gift to give. It is perfect for a desk or night table. It measures 3 and 1/2 inches long and 2 inches high. Very colorful in gold, red and silver colors. In Very Good to Excellent Condition. A bit of information ...

$250 USD ReducedREDUCED Wonderful Malachite FigureOf Hotei With Frog

$200 USDJade - Chinese Carved Tang Ram In Recumbent Pose

$1,800 USD Offers ConsideredChinese Grey Jade Carving Of Tower With Buddha, Two Feet Tall!
Collectibles:Oriental:Jade:Buddha Tower
This impressive 20th Century showpiece was carved in segments. All pieces are attached to one another, albeit still able to turn, except in the middle; so the carving is actually in two pieces that "stack." This piece has probably had some restoration, since it is quite an involved piece, but it is still in Good to Very Good Condition. Please look at the photographs. We have tried to get different angles. They are part of the description.
$1,700 USDMarvelous Carved Fossil Ivory - Okimono Cat Group - With Stand, Signed

Charming and extremely well carved, polychromed fossil mammoth ivory okimono group of cats amid foliage catching mice, with inlaid eyes. 4 1/4" in length; carved wood stand imitating basket-weave and bamboo, signed on inlaid plaque. In Excellent Condition.
$100 USDVery Interesting Small Carved Hardstone Vase, Chinese, c early 1900s
Collectibles:Oriental:Carved Hardstone Vase
I really like the color variations in this stone; some seemingly random reds that catch your attention. This is a diamond shape that would allow it to be used as a corner vase. Its 6 inch height allows it to fit almost anywhere. The carving on this vase is intact; unharmed through the years. There is a crack on one of the undecorated sides. Please see photos. "China" has been scratched into the base on one of the undecorated sides. This is Circa early 1900s; probably older.

$250 USD Offers ConsideredWonderful Chinese Ceramic Sculpture of a Working Man, Marvelous Expression!
Collectibles:Oriental:Mudman:Workman
This strong Chinese Working Man, standing with a tool of some kind, perhaps an ax, is depicted leaning against a substantial rock outcropping. Everything about this sculpture denotes confidence and strength..... he could be in a commercial for Gold's Gym, as well built as he is!!! And his expression; a combination of confidence, humor, and perhaps a hint of a smirk. He stands 9 and 1/2 inches tall, and is in excellent condition.
$250 USD ReducedREDUCED Unusual Carved Wood Figure Of A Chinese Or Tibetan Monk, Painted
Collectibles:Oriental:Carved Wood:Tibetan Monk
This very interesting old piece is nicely carved and painted. The subject is an old man in robes, putting something in his ear. Perhaps cleaning his ear? I knew he was perfect for my shop....... after all, I did promise "eclectic" didn't I? This is an old piece, at least vintage, and probably older. He is in Good to Very Good Condition, with some expected age rubbings and minor chips on the base. I have taken pictures to accentuate the age wear. He is 10 inches tall.
$300 USD ReducedREDUCED Carved Ivory Netsuke - Coiled Snake With Captured Small Animal - Signed

This is an interesting netsuke, with inlaid eyes. The subject matter, a snake with his captured prey, reflects real life, although some people may prefer a more saccharine theme. This piece is signed. It measures nearly 1 and 3/4 inches tall, and is over 1 and 3/4 inches across. It is in Good to Very Good Condition. A netsuke is a form of small sculpture which developed in Japan over a period of more than three hundred years. Netsuke served both functional and aesthetic purposes. The kimono, the ...

$250 USDBronze Chinese Songzi Guanyin - Goddess of Mercy, Provider of Children
Collectibles:Oriental:Bronze:Songzi Guanyin:Goddess Of Mercy:Giver Of Children:Baby:Mother:Pregnancy:Childbirth:Decorative:Fecundity
The Songzi Guanyin is a symbol of the “Giver of Children” and the “Dispenser of Fecundity”. Although women were viewed as significant in their role of providing offspring in China, they were isolated during events relating to bearing of children. This image of Guanyin became especially significant to women because she was all accepting, especially during times of isolation and because she is credited with assisting women in becoming pregnant, protecting women during childbirth, and protecting ...
$150 USDOld Asian Carved Hardstone Tiger
Collectibles:Oriental:Hardstone Tiger
I bought this intriguing stone carving during my first trip to the Far East in 1968. I believe I bought it in Taipei, but was also in Japan as well as Korea as well as Thailand.....what a trip!!!! The pictures do not do this justice. I love how detailed his fangs are; the menacing eyes and fascinating markings. He is quite solid, soapstone, and measures approx 4 inches long by 2 3/4 inches high. Another great conversation piece!
$3,800 USD Offers ConsideredOutstanding Finely-Carved Ivory Mongolian Warrior, signed
Collectibles:Oriental:Ivory:Mongolian Warrior
This is truly a striking piece. He is large, about 10 inches tall. His headpiece has masks on both sides; his bow (?) is removable; as I recall, the arrows in the quiver are removable, but they are in snugly, so I didn't try. The detail is incredible. I purchased this in 1985, when I invested in a number of ivories in New Orleans.
$250 USDHardstone Twin Snuff Bottle With Opal Inclusions And Dragon
Collectibles:Oriental:Snuff Bottle
Very unusual and utmost lovely miniature hardstone twin snuff bottle showing the figural depiction of a dragon, as well as the most beautiful opal inclusions in the stone material.

It is crafted from hard stone and showcases spectacular opal inclusions as well as the figural portrayal of a miniature dragon. Each bottle is of irregular shape with an ...
$85 USDChinese Mudman of Hotei With Beads and Parcel, Early 20th Century
Collectibles:Oriental:Mudman:Hotei
This is one of my favorite mudmen. His satisfied expression is priceless. There are many newer mudmen, but they are not as detailed. The difference is obvious when compared. He is in Excellent Condition, and stands 5 and 1/2 inches tall.
$150 USDSeated Muscular Mudman With Tool, Chinese, Early 20th Century
Collectibles:Oriental:Mudman:Workman
I love this because of the fabulous details, from the wonderful muscle definition in his strong arms, to the colors of his clothing, and the rock upon which he is sitting. This is a good example of how much better the older pieces, such as this, are compared to the very inferior newer pieces currently being made. It is in Excellent Condition, with no losses. He is 7 and 1/2 inches tall.
$2,000 USD Offers ConsideredTall and Imposing - Vintage Polychrome Dore Bronze Buddha, Hands in Mudra
Collectibles:Oriental:Bronze:Buddha
This is a fascinating piece, either Chinese or Thai. The colors are vivid; the expression one of calm and serenity. The hands are held in Mudra. This is a tall extremely well-detailed sculpture. It stands 15 and 1/8 inches tall, and is in Excellent Condition. It is probably older than we are stating, but it is at least vintage. Very interesting mark or signature on bottom.

$750 USD ReducedREDUCED Very Well-Carved Japanese Ivory Netsuke, Signed
Collectibles:Oriental:Ivory:Netsuke:Japanese
Pictures do not do this justice. This gentleman has the greatest expression on his face, as he is walking, carrying a bird cage, and eating a snack. The workmanship on his clothing is fantastic. Even the soles of his shoes are well carved. On his right lower leg is a small round mother of pearl with the artist's signature. This is a truly unique and highly desirable piece. BRIEF HISTORY OF NETSUKE (pronounced nets-keh.) When kimonos were the common sartorial choice in Japan, a sash or obi was ...
$100 USDInteresting Chinese Carved Hardstone Lovely Lady - Beautiful Color Striations In The Stone!
Collectibles:Oriental:Carved Stone
The artist who carved this piece used the colors of the stone very well, and also fashioned the foliage and plants that nearly surround her with a good deal of open work. At one time there might have been some ink orpaint to accentuate her eyes, eyebrows and possibly the stringed instrument she is playing, but it is almost all gone. As with so many of the Chinese hardstone carved sculptures, it consists of two pieces which are attached. I think this particular pair is extremely nice. You can see ...
$450 USD Offers ConsideredFascinating Ivory, Intricately Carved, Two Faces, Snakes,
Collectibles:Oriental:Ivory:Carved Ball With Snakes And Faces:Snakes:Decorative:Decorative Arts:Asian:Ivory:Carved Ball:Snake:Faces:Oriental:Asian:Japanese
This is simply incredible. I have had it for many years, and I love to keep turning it over in my hand, as one face becomes another; the eyes are in both faces, but turning it over, the face is totally different. One face is a menacing one, and the other is obviously blowing through his mouth, with his cheeks puffed out. It also has snakes artfully carved. It has a hole through it, so it might have been used as an inro. Quite an unusual piece. The ball is about 1 inch in diameter; the stand ...
$150 USDCarved Hardstone Monkey holding a Gourd With Small Elephant - Adorable!
Collectibles:Oriental:Carved Soapstone:Monkey:Elephant
This Chinese soapstone carving must bring a smile to your face. The expression on the monkey's face as he lovingly holds his gourd is precious. And his little elephant at his feet will surely bring you good luck since he is depicted with his trunk up. The sculpture is 7 and 1/4 inches tall, and is in Good to Very Good Condition, with some minor scratches, to be expected with age and display. The base is not original. The base is 1 and 1/4 inches tall. It is a nicely scalloped pattern but has one ...
$350 USDFascinating Signed Chinese Hardstone Carved Figure of a Semi-Disrobed Woman with Flower
Collectibles:Oriental:Carved Hardstone:Figure Of A Semi-disrobed Woman With A Flower:Decorative:Decorative Arts
This is quite an interesting piece for many reasons. First of course is the artistic content; her aura of serenity and mediation, enticing without seemingly trying. Further, on the back of the piece is what I have been told is the signature of the artist, along with markings several places, supposedly with some intriguing hidden meanings. This comes with a perfectly fitted lacquered wooden footed stand. She is in Excellent Condition. I have no idea what the white markings on the bottom represent ...
