The underside shows beautifully carved hossu, the inlaid bone teeth, the large singular himotoshi, and the neatly incised signature TOMOHISA – a pupil of the Tomochika school of Edo (Tokyo).SIZE 5.8 X 4.3 X 4.5 cm (L x H x W)Condition: One repaired crack to the side. Otherwise excellent condition with minor wear.The fly whisk (hossu) belongs to the paraphernalia of a Buddhist monk, especially those of the Zen sect. The combination of skull and hossu might be an allusion to the Zen priest Ikkyu (1394-1481) who according to legend wandered around on New Year's Day with a skull mounted on a stick as a reminder of the ephemeral nature of human life and the significance of the Buddhist teachings.Auction comparison:Compare to a closely related wood netsuke by Tomochika at Zacke, Fine Japanese Art, 27 May 2022, Vienna, lot 263 (sold for 3,648 EUR).

§ Fulvio Bianconi (Italian 1915-1996) for Venini Double Incalmo Vase, 1951 model 4392, signed with 3 line acid stamp Venini, Murano, ITALIA (to base), glassDimensions:24cm high (9 1/2in high)Provenance:ProvenancePrivate Collection, UK.Note: LiteratureBarovier, Marino and Carla Sonego. Fulvio Bianconi at Venini. SKIRA. p 228. Bianconi experimented with the incalmo technique (joining of two separately blown pieces of glass whilst still hot). In the case of the double incalmo he sought to extend the technique to three different coloured glass hemispheres where the rims of all had to have the same circumference - an operation which required the highest level of glass-making skills. One of Italy’s most famous post-war designers, Fulvio Bianconi (1915-1996) was an integral motivator in pushing the use of glass further than its purely utilitarian purposes. Best known for his colourful vases, pitchers and bowls Bianconi looked to evoke the visual effect of abstract art. A sculptor of Murano glass, he was one of the first artists to represent the material in a human form, intending to add a sensuality to the object which echoed that of modern conceptual painting. Bianconi took inspiration primarily from the female silhouette, an influence for one of his most famous works the 1950 ‘bikini vase’. In moulding these abstract forms great attention was paid to the curvature and shape of the glass, materialising in striking yet simple pieces.When considering colour, Bianconi’s pieces adopted a multi-colour patchwork effect comparable to that of the stained glass found in gothic cathedrals. To create this effect the glass was first blown before being rolled over panels of coloured glass which would stick to the hot body, thus producing dynamic layers of mixed shades. Previously described as a making ‘patchwork of light’, the exceptional complexity of this process ensured the rarity of such items, increasing the individuality of Bianconi’s works. The pairing of vivid colour with dynamic irregular shapes gave the works a light-hearted atmosphere and enticing aesthetic, unrestricted by the traditional artisan principles of glass design.
