Item Details
Description
A charming antique porcelain netsuke, spanning 12 x 4 cm, hailing from the Edo period of Japan, 1603-1868. This white-glazed figurine embodies the traditional Japanese art of netsuke - miniature sculptures that were historically used as toggles to hold pouches or cases on a kimono sash. The serene glaze and the figure's contemplative posture are characteristic of the Edo period's aesthetic preferences and the subtle yet profound artistry that defined Japanese ceramics of the time. The netsuke serves not only as a functional piece but also as a work of art, providing insight into the cultural values and everyday life of historic Japan.

4.72 x 1.57 inches (12 x 4 cm)
