Posted By: Guy Sat, Sep 02, 2017 IMO, this is indeed a complex Japanese, Meiji era okimono signed 'Jitsuga' 'Kanga' or 'Tomimasa' (實雅), sealed 'Chikuen' or 'Takemaru' (竹円). |

Posted By: I. Nagy Sun, Sep 03, 2017 I have opened the Bonhams auction site suggested by Guy, and found the same 實雅 characters in clear seal script read Jitsuga/Minotada. |

Posted By: Guy Sun, Sep 03, 2017 Sorry, the seal reads indeed 竹内 - 'Takeuchi' or eventually 'Chikudai'. |

Posted By: Gman Mon, Sep 04, 2017 Please excuse the skepticism, but 95% of all ivory items shown in this forum are not ivory, in fact 95% of all items called ivory at eBay et al are not ivory either, put that together with the fact that you had not mentioned size, and whether there were any pieces added on, and it makes the material ID ambiguous. |

Posted By: Guy Tue, Jan 19, 2021 It's signed 'Gyokuzan' (玉山) and such an elaborated netsuke/okimono reminds of the Tokyo based carver Asahi Gyokuzan (1843-1923). |
