YAMAGUCHI OKATOMO: A SUPERB WOOD NETSUKE OF A HARE AND YOUNGBy Yamaguchi Okatomo, signed Okatomo 岡友Japan, Kyoto, late 18th century, Edo period (1615-1868)Published: Bushell, Raymond (1971) Collector's Netsuke, p. 32, no. 24.Wilhelm, Gabor (1988) Netsuke Kenkyukai Society Journal, p. 42 and 44.Wilhelm, Gabor (1989) Bulletin Franco-Japonais, p. 22. Sydney L. Moss (1989) Japanese Netsuke: Serious Art. Outstanding Works Selected from American Collections, no. 10.Birch, Michael (Summer 1989) Netsuke Kenkyukai Society Journal, p. 26, fig. 3.Superbly carved as a rabbit and young huddled close together, the mother resting a paw protectively on the back of the buck leveret, which is snuggling to its mother's side. Their fur and other details are neatly incised and darkly stained for effect. Their eyes are double-inlaid with bone and pupils of reddish, mid-toned translucent buffalo horn. The underside is well detailed with the animals' paws and genitals, with many natural himotoshi due to the openwork.LENGTH 5.2 cmCondition: Very good condition with minor expected wear and few minuscule age cracks. Tiny old repair to the edge of the left ear. Provenance: Ex- collection B.K. Denton, Yokohama and St. Louis, 1971. St. James' Gallery, Zurich, 1988. Sydney L. Moss Ltd., London, 1989. European collection, acquired from the above. Sydney L. Moss Ltd., London, 2005. French private collection, acquired from the above.Okatomo's later animals, at the end of the 18th century, are smaller and more precious than his earlier works, but share his characteristic smiling features and charming, well-fed naturalism, in contrast to his teacher Tomotada's reptilian features and bony, massive bulk. Other known Okatomo rabbits are ivory, smaller, and later. This group corresponds to Tomotada's style in composition and size, but betrays Okatomo's hand unmistakably in the hairwork, underside, and face with idiosyncratic inlays to eyes. It is a rare, early work from the period when Okatomo was strongly influenced by Tomotada.The Okatomo signature is generally considered to have been added later. Nonetheless, the present netsuke is doubtlessly the artist's work.Literature comparison:Compare a closely related, yet later ivory netsuke depicting the same subject by Okatomo, illustrated in Cohen, George (1974) In Search of Netsuke & Inro, p. 35, no. 44. Compare also a wood netsuke of a wolf by Okatomo, signed Tomotada, with similar double-inlaid eyes in bone and horn, formerly in the collection of E. Hobbs and offered by Max Rutherston Ltd.Auction comparison:Compare to a related wood netsuke of a recumbent ox, signed Tomotada, but certainly by Okatomo, at Christie's, An Important European Collection of Netsuke, 14 November 2001, London, lol 31 (sold for 15,863 GBP).

§ Patrick Heron C.B.E (British 1920-1999) Marigold, Crimson and Ultramarine, September 1968, 1968 signed, titled and dated on artist's label (verso)gouache on paperDimensions:17.7cm x 23.7cm (7in x 9 1/4in)Provenance:ProvenanceThe Estate of the ArtistWaddington Galleries, London, where acquired by the present owner in 2006Note: 'My gouaches are not a substitute for the oil paintings, nor are they preliminary sketches, or means for trying out new colour-shapes or configurations of dovetailed colour-shapes to feature in later paintings on canvas. They are works in their own right; and their quality, in fact, doesn’t even overlap with the canvases’ in many respects. Or so I feel…In my gouaches, the tempo is dictated, quite apart from the particular needs of the area-shapes I make, by the nature of the wet medium itself. I like the water in the paint mixture to lead me: to suggest the scribbled drawing which gives birth to the images…My gouaches have always had this fast-moving fluidity of drawing, and a softness, coming from the watery medium itself, which the oil paintings cannot share…[and a]…quality of fluent, fluid colour.'Patrick Heron, 'A Note on my Gouaches', written to accompany his exhibition at the Caledonian Club, Edinburgh, 1985; quoted in Patrick Heron: Gouaches from 1961 to 1996, Waddington Galleries, London, 9 February – 12 March 2005, p.5

The International Mercantile Marine Company was formed in the early twentieth century by shipping magnates Clement Griscom of the American Line and Red Star Line, Bernard N.

Antig-Jawa 500cc Grass-track Racing Motorcycle The sports of speedway, grass-track, and long-track racing are closely related, the principal differences being the composition of the track surface and the length of the circuit, long tracks typically being 800-1,000 metres in length compared to around 400 metres or less for a speedway venue. The machines too share many basic characteristics, though long trackers are lengthier and have two-speed gearboxes and different, longer-travel front suspension. With their much longer straights, long tracks allow for significantly higher speeds. Long track engines will, generally, be tuned for greater top-end power to take advantage of these long straights. Just as in speedway, the JAP engine ruled the roost in long track's formative years, before the Czech-built Jawa/ESO began to assert itself in the early 1960s. In turn, Jawa's dominance of both speedway and long-track racing would be challenged by the four-valve Weslake engine, and Jawa responded by introducing a new double-overhead-camshaft, four-valve motor in the late 1970s. Available in speedway/long-track variants as the Type 894/895, this engine was adequately powerful (producing up to 65bhp) but rather top heavy, and was superseded by the more compact, single-overhead-camshaft Type 896/897, this being the final development of Jawa's classic upright single. This four-valve Jawa engine and gearbox are installed in an Antig frame, the machine being presented in restored condition. There are no documents with this Lot.Footnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

CLEMENT HEATON (1861-1940) ARTS & CRAFTS JARDINIERE, CIRCA 1890 copper with applied cloisonné decorationDimensions:20cm highNote: Note: Clement Heaton, an early member of A.H. Mackmurdo’s Century Guild, set up his company Heatons Cloisonné-Mosaic Ltd at 6 Berners Street, London in 1887, a year after selling his share in his father’s lucrative stained glass business Heaton, Butler & Bayne for £4,800. He patented his enamelling technique in 1886, inspired by medieval techniques that precluded the firing process and instead used coloured cements: a mixture of resin, beeswax, sulphur marble dust and coloured pigments. Hardening over time, these cements could be polished to give the soft matt finish characteristic of Heaton’s work as seen in the present example.

DALWHINNIE 15 YEAR OLD CENTENARY HIGHLAND SINGLE MALT DALWHINNIE 15 YEAR OLD CENTENARYDalwhinnie is the highest distillery in Scotland and, as such, it also boasts the lowest average temperature range. The obvious benefit of this is a lower “angel’s share” lost from casks in their warehouse, but it also keeps their external worm tubs cool, causing the spirit vapour from the stills to condense very quickly. Combine this with a distillation process which strives to minimise copper contact, and Dalwhinnie distillery produces a heavy, sulphury new make spirit that needs to mellow in refill wood for 15 years before its signature sweet, honied style fully emerges.43% ABV / 70clQty: 1

2013 Airstream International 685 Transmission: manualMileage:Airstream is an American brand of caravans which are easily recognised by the distinctive shape of their rounded and polished aluminium coachwork. This body shape dates back to the 1930s and is based on designs created by Hawley Bowlus. Airstream trailers and recreational vehicles are manufactured in Jackson Center, Ohio. The company, now a division of Thor Industries, employs more than 800 people, and is the oldest in the industry.Airstreamers are a group who share a community spirit because of their common love of the trailers. In the early 1950s, Airstream company founder Wally Byam began leading groups of owners on travels to many parts of the world, where the towed trailers were quite a remarkable sight. Photos taken of the trailers in front of many famous tourist sites were common. This promoted a mystique which surrounded Airstreams and persists to this day.The five-berth Airstream International 685 is a great, retro caravan ideal for families travelling. This quirky model contains three bunk beds at the rear of the model which is good for people on holiday with young children. Parents can get their head down on the fold-out double bed which takes the place of the front seating area.During the day this area can be used to relax, eat meals, play board games or watch television from the numerous power points available. The bathroom comes complete with shower cubicle, toilet and washbasin and sits adjacent to the sleeping areas. Families will be able to cook up a storm in the kitchen with everything that a holidaymaker could ask for.The unit features a coverable sink and draining board which can be used as preparation space. There is also a two-shelf oven with a four-burner hob on the top along with a fridge and microwave, meaning that making any meal is a breeze.SpecificationBerths: 5Overall length: 8.25mOverall width: 2.50mMTPLM: 2,680kg

ADMIRAL HORATION NELSON (1758-1805) An autographed letter to Thomas Pollard Nelson (with the right hand) - [off Corsica] To Thomas Pollard, Merchant, Leghorn ‘Agamemnon at Sea June 10th 1794 Dear Sir, I received your letter by Rose Cutter also a jar of butter and basket containing sugar tea & paper. I wish you had sent the other things as I want them, I have also rec.d (received) your account of the sale &c of the Port boat. You will send me what you think right for her, my share certainly goes to the fellow men who took her, I said so once before my word is never broke, the Vessel taken when Lutine [another ship in the fleet] & a gun boat was in sight as also Meleager [another ship in the fleet], I cannot settle ab.t (about) what I wrote you for, was the Wine Vessels from Corsica, which Capt. Freemantle settled for, send them the Agamemnon’s share, with the sum for each officer & man, the Ad[jutant} 1 8th, Capt. 2 8ths. I dare say Capt. Freemantle took care all was done properly. We have been after the French french (sic) who I only regret we did not fall in with. Your much obliged Horatio Nelson’ Nelson was Agamemnon’s captain from January 1793 for three years and three months, during which time she saw much service in the Mediterranean. It is known to be his favourite ship. From the beginning of 1794 Nelson was ordered by Hood to blockade Corsica, which Britain wanted to occupy. He led the bombardment of Bastia from the 4th of April and it surrendered on the 23rd of May, 1794, with seamen from his ships helping capture the town. Apparently this letter is about spoils from the action at Bastia. Afterwards the ship had to return to Gibraltar for repair, and when this letter was written, was back to help take Calvi in Corsica, where he anchored on 18th June. He continued the blockade until 10th August 1794 when Calvi fell. A month after this he sustained the injury which led to the loss of his eye. The letter measures 26cm high x 36cm wide. In a glazed mount.
