Y IVORY OKIMONO OF ASHINAGA-TENAGA MEIJI PERIOD finely carved as a pair of figural group with the long-armed yōkai grabbing a crab from a long leg of the other, a weaved basket with crab on ground next to a stepped-on conch, the base set with mother-of-pearl and signed 'Toshikazu' (Dimensions: 22cm high) (Qty: 1)(22cm high)Qty: (1)Footnote: Provenance: Private Edinburgh collection Note: These creatures were reputed to be inhabitants of the islands east of Shaku-sui, a ‘water ladle’ river, all fictions of the imagination. As they lived principally on fish, they found cooperation useful: Ashinaga would wade into the sea carrying Tenaga on his back so that the latter could reach down deep into the water to catch the fish and crabs.

The coin should not be taken as a guide as to the age of the piece. It is possible, for example, that the date on the coin insert might reflect some personal connection with the owner. Instead, dating should rely on the style and characteristics of the ladle itself. This style of ladle was made by beating out a large silver coin, usually a crown, into the shape of the bowl. Silversmiths started using silver coins instead of sheet silver when the wholesale silver price was greater than the face value of the coins in their pocket - and so it would have been cheaper to use coins than to buy the same weight in new silver. The central coin would be unbeaten filler. It is incontrovertible that coins were beaten into bowls because some bowls still retain the coin impress around the rim. Of course, destroying the coin of the realm in this manner was illegal, so they could not be sent to an assay office for hallmarking or it is likely that they would have been confiscated and destroyed. Typically, the handles were made of baleen (often described as ‘whalebone’). Most, if not all British baleen of the 18th-century came from the seasonal Greenland Right Whale (Bowhead) fishery of the Eastern Arctic. Baleen strips were extracted on site, bundled, and taken home to the silversmiths for further refinement. There they could be steamed until they became malleable and then shaped or twisted as desired.
