    Description

    The hand-painted insects are simultaneously fascinating, lovely, and a bit creepy.  One is signed, the other is not, but these were clearly decorated by the same hand.  There is a tight hairline on the signed brush pot extending from the top down about 1-1/4".  Both pieces have very fine crazing throughout and a few blotches of staining as shown in the photos.
    They measure 4-1/2" high and 2-2/8" in diameter.  I believe these to be authentic Meiji period pieces based on the style of decoration found in other pieces on-line that are identified as being from that period.  If I have missed the mark I will add to the listing or pull it entirely to prevent misrepresentation.
    Rest assured, I always pack with care to assure the safe arrival of your treasures. Please check my feedback and my longevity selling through eBay and bid with confidence. Thanks for looking and good luck.
