Subject:Japanese Bronze Statue of Hotei and Fukurokuju
Posted By: Susan Fri, Oct 09, 2015 IP: 173.71.183.163

Hoping for help regarding the artist, age or any information one might glean from these photographs. The piece was purchased at an antique shop in Japan.

Hi,are you sure its bronze? It looks to me to be a nicely potted piece of Bizen ware ( Japanese pottery) early 20th century at a guess.

Hi James,

Thanks--I stand corrected and learned something new! Do you know how I would go about figuring out whom the artist is and the age of the statue?
