A number of vessels and sculptures from the seventeenth to the nineteenth century bear his name, sometimes in combination with a hall name, Jinyu tang ('Hall of Prosperity'). Although the present piece is unsigned, the high quality of the casting and fine silver inlays make an attribution to Shisou or a related workshop seem reasonable.石叟風格明末銅錯銀鳳凰紋帶鈎中國，十七世紀。鳳頭帶鈎，錯銀如意、饕餮等仿古紋飾，鈕扣下方有嵌線捲軸。扣鈕上錯銀卷紋。 來源：二戰前駐華法國前上校的私人收藏。 品相：狀況極好，有輕微磨損和鑄造瑕疵，微小的刻痕和小凹痕。 重量：63.0 克 尺寸：長10.8 厘米

AN UNUSUAL INLAID BLACK AND GOLD LACQUER FOUR-CASE INRO DEPICTING BONSAI TREESUnsignedJapan, 17th-18th century, Edo period (1615-1868)Of upright, rectangular form and oval section, the roiro ground lacquer in gold takamaki-e and hiramaki-e as well as inlays of coral and various semi-precious stones, to depict a bonsai tree in a shallow rectangular footed vessel, the exterior of the cord holes decorated with scroll. The interior of roiro with gold fundame edges.HEIGHT 7.5 cmCondition: Good condition with some wear, minor age cracks, small losses to inlays, little flaking to lacquer, the interior with traces of use.Provenance: French private collection.Bonsai is a Japanese version of the original traditional Chinese art penjing or penzai. Unlike penjing, which utilizes traditional techniques to produce entire natural sceneries in small pots that mimic the grandiose and shape of real life sceneries, the Japanese bonsai only attempts to produce small trees that mimic the shape of real life trees. It was during the Tang dynasty, when penjing was at its height, that the art was first introduced into Japan.Bonsai cultivation reached a high level of expertise during the Edo period. Bonsai dating to the 17th century have survived to the present. One of the oldest-known living bonsai trees, considered one of the National Treasures of Japan, can be seen in the Tokyo Imperial Palace collection. A five-needle pine (Pinus pentaphylla var. negishi) known as Sandai-Shogun-No Matsu is documented as having been cared for by Tokugawa Iemitsu. The tree is thought to be at least 500 years old and was trained as a bonsai by 1610.By the end of the 18th century, bonsai cultivation in Japan was becoming widespread and began to interest the general public. In the Tenmei era (1781-88), an exhibit of traditional dwarf potted pines began to be held every year in Kyoto. Connoisseurs from five provinces and neighboring areas would bring one or two plants each to the show in order to submit them to visitors for ranking.

CHINESE SCHOOL IN THE MANNER OF XU BEIHONG XU 徐悲鴻 (CHINA, 1895-1953) Les trois cormorans - The three cormorants Ink and colors on paper Mounted as a scroll / kakemono With a signature (apocryphal) on the upper left: ‘悲鴻’ With a date (apocryphal) on the upper left: Winter 1935 (‘二十四年冬’) With an artist seal (apocryphal) on the upper left With an handwritten collector label on the scroll mount attributing the painting to Xu Beihong Dimensions (the sole painting): 110 x 59 cm Notes: The son of a painter, Xu Beihong was born in 1895 in Qiting, Jiangsu. He received a traditional scholar education, including classics of Chinese literature, philosophical essays and ink wash painting. From 9 years old onwards, he started copying old master paintings. He later studied at the French Department of the Catholic University of Furen and moved to Paris, France, where he studied at the Paris Fine Arts Institute (Institut des Beaux-Arts de Paris. Upon his return to China, later in his life, he was appointed a professor at the ink wash and calligraphy research Department of the University of Beijing. In 1935, Xu Beihong went to Guilin, Guangxi, where he first got acquainted with one of his favorite subjects: cormorants. Indeed, there, he saw fishermen fishing with those birds. He then studied thoroughly those birds, their interesting shapes, wings, colors and beak etc. He drew many sketches and wrote texts about them. Hence the versions of this subject that we can find in different museums, such as the one preserved in the collection of the Crystal Museum, Taichung, Taiwan, or the one preserved at the Memorial Museum of Xu Beihong, Beijing, China. In our painting, three lively black cormorants are depicted along a lake. The first one - on the first ground - is turning its back to us and the second one - on the middle ground - is seen from its side or profile whilst the third one - in the background - is drying its plumage with its hooked beak. 中国画作，徐悲鸿风格（1895-1953） NOTE: CONDITION REPORTS AND MEASUREMENTS It is up to the bidder to satisfy themselves prior to buying as to the condition of a lot.

Bronze des Lao-Tse auf dem Ochsen. CHINA, um 1900. Aus drei separat gegossen Teilen zusammengefügt. Der chinesische Philosoph Lao-Tse (Laozi) wird als einer der drei „Hochgötter“ des chinesischen, Daoismus verehrt. Der Legende nach sah sich Lao-Tse, Bibliothekar des chinesischen Staates Chu, durch eine heraufziehende politische Krise zur Emigration genötigt. Auf der Reise auf dem Rücken eines Ochsen wurde er am Shan-Gu-Pass von dem dort lebenden Gelehrten Yin-Xi aufgefordert, seine Lehren mitzuteilen. Darauf spielt die Schriftrolle an, die der heiter und gelassen dreinschauende Lao-Tse hält. Der Ochse bzw. Wasserbüffel, ein in ganz Asien verbreitetes Nutztier, steht für Genügsamkeit, Ausdauer und Pflichterfüllung. H gesamt: 29 cm.| Bronze of Lao-Tse on the ox. CHINA, around 1900. Assembled from three separately cast pieces. Lao-Tse (Laozi) has been worshipped since the 2nd century as one of the three "High Gods" of Chinese, Daoism. According to legend, Lao-Tse, librarian of the Chinese state of Chu, felt compelled to emigrate due to an emerging political crisis. Traveling on the back of an ox, he was asked at the Shan Gu Pass by the local scholar Yin-Xi to share his teachings. This is alluded to in the scroll that Lao-Tse holds, looking serene and calm. The ox or water buffalo, a common farm animal throughout Asia, stands for frugality, endurance and devotion to duty. Height total: 29 cm.
