A SUPERB PAIR OF MIYAO-STYLE MIXED-METAL-INLAID AND PARCEL-GILT BRONZE VASES WITH SHOKI AND ONIJapan, late 19th century, Meiji period (1868-1912)Each vase with a baluster body supported on a spreading foot and rising to a gently waisted neck with flat everted rim, the shoulder with two long handles issued from baku heads, the exterior carved in high and sunken (shishiaibori) relief, inlaid in iro-e takazogan and hirazogan, and engraved in katakiri and kebori, with bamboo-framed panels surrounded by two snakes flanking a toad above and a snail below – an impressive example of the sansukumi motif. Each panel shows a different but complementary design, on one vase depicting a proudly standing Shoki holding his sword in one hand and extending the other, with a long-tailed pheasant amid chrysanthemums under a gnarled pine tree to the back; and on the other three oni depicted in different attitudes, one of them fighting back against the demon queller, the back with two long-tailed pheasants perched on a craggy rock. The body is further decorated with bamboo leaves, mushrooms, and leaves, the neck and foot with formalized bands.HEIGHT each 30.5 cmWEIGHT each 4.7 kgCondition: Very good condition with minor surface wear.Provenance: From the private collection of an intrepid and seasoned connoisseur who tirelessly travels the globe and acquires with passion, discernment and above all a sense of all-embracing eclecticism, bound by no rigid formula of what should constitute a worthy object save the admiration and wonder that it can produce in the viewer.The present pair of vases, impressively cast, finely carved in high and sunken relief, and masterfully inlaid in both hirazogan and takazogan, was clearly made by an extremely talented metalworker. The inspired use of inlays makes an attribution to the workshop of Miyao Eisuke reasonable. Although most often associated with large-scale bronze figures of samurai, the Miyao Company also manufactured or dealt in a wide range of craft goods including Shibayama-work panels and ivory figures. Apparently based first in Yokohama and then, after about 1890, in Nihonbashi-ku, Tokyo, the company is first recorded at the second Naikoku Kangyo Hakurankai (National Industrial Exposition) where Miyao Eisuke collaborated with the bronze caster Momose Sozaemon in the production of a bronze figure of seven drunken shojo.The combination of snake, frog, and snail (or slug) constitutes the sansukumi motif. Sansukumi translates to 'the three who are afraid of one another'. The three animals are in a state of mutually assured destruction: the snake will consume the frog, however the frog has already eaten a poisonous snail, so the snake must perish as well. This motif is connected to sansukumi-ken, a category of Japanese hand games played by using three hand gestures. The oldest sansukumi-ken game is mushi-ken, a game originally from China. In mushi-ken, the 'frog' represented by the thumb wins against the 'slug' represented by the pinkie finger, which, in turn defeats the 'snake' represented by the index finger, which wins against the 'frog'. Although this game was imported from China, the Japanese version differs in the animals represented. In adopting the game, the original Chinese characters for centipede or millipede were apparently confused with the characters for the 'slug'. The centipede was chosen because of the Chinese belief that the centipede was capable of killing a snake by climbing and entering its head. One of the few surviving sansukumi-ken games is jan-ken, which was brought to the West in the 20th century as rock paper scissors.

He studied at Leeds Polytechnic, and during his time there he became inspired by masters of art such as Chardin and Rembrandt. Many of Simon Bull's early paintings relayed the beauty of the landscapes and animals around him, which were ever changing due to his travels. In 2009, Muhammad Ali selected artist Simon Bull to paint separate portraits of the boxer and the then President of the United States, Barrack Obama. Simon Bull's artwork mirrors his surroundings and uses bright pops of color that invoke feelings of energy and happiness.

ALLILUYEVA SVETLANA: (1926-2011) Soviet writer and lecturer, the youngest child and only daughter of Joseph Stalin and his second wife Nadezhda Alliluyeva. Svetlana Alliluyeva caused an international sensation in 1967 by defecting to the United States, becoming a naturalised citizen in 1978. An interesting A.L.S., L. Peters, five pages, 4to, London, 14th March 1993, to Maurice Dalinval of Le Figaro. Alliluyeva states that she was glad to have met her correspondent the previous day and hopes that they will be able to work together on various projects, continuing to write, in part, ‘Since I’m seeing…..the young geologist from Kamchatka, Russia, I’ll ask him (without revealing the purpose) about some most interesting aspects of the “Science in Eastern Serbia” since that is the Grand theme which one should undertake while going there. A place of exile – in the past – the Eastern Siberia…..was place of massive “colonisation by scientist”, undertaken since late 1940ies and the idea was from the centre, then, of course. The reason was a wealth of underground treasures traced by geologists (including things like uranium, plutonium and others, needed for Atomic industries). The large “Army” of young scientist were recrouted (sic) – or went voluntarily…..new towns were built….(more military purposes & organisations were not revealed to public). Yet in the 5 decades two generations of dedicated scientists emerged there; cities flourished; schools were better than that in the European part of USSR……There is a lot what to film about there and what to talk about and I’d be most gratefull (sic) if “Le Figaro” takes me on board (but quietly), so that I could then meet with my daughter. Yet this personal event should not (please!!) be advertised from the very beginning: there is so much more to speak about. Neither Americans (too lazy) nor British (too indifferent) are yet to speak about this unique huge area of development: they still believe the Siberia is a place of exile only. Not so……Another project – about a Book of Questions and Answers (how strange: that was my idea after I’ve returned from USSR to USA in 1986! Americans thought it was no good…..) With a good lively questions one can make a very interesting book……it shouldn’t be too light, though – there is a lot of serious things to talk about (and I hate to say anything that could upset my children on both sides of the globe)…….Finally, I hasten to explain that an Essay on the subject “Why I’ve become a Catholic” is strictly for the audience of Catholics or clergy; it is not a popular or secular subject…..So, thank you very much again, - and please let us stay in touch about these new projects: those can be very interesting’. Accompanied by the original envelope hand addressed by Alliluyeva and marked ‘Personal & Private’ and signed (‘L. P.’) by Alliluyeva with her initials in the return address panel to the verso. A few very light, minor creases, otherwise VG
