Japanese handwoven bamboo flower basket, or hanakago (花籠), c. 1960s-80s.

Traditional Japanese basket-weaving techniques are used to create an exceptionally modern, sculptural form. The precision and intricacy of the craftsmanship are as remarkable as the design itself.

Part of the new collection, available at thelinie.com. Link in bio.

A large, floor-standing Brutalist iron pricket candleholder, Germany, c. 1960s-70s.

Its organically branching structure gives the piece the presence of a freestanding sculpture.

Zuishō (瑞祥), meaning ‘a sign of good fortune’, is the name of this Japanese bronze flower vase associated with metalworker Hirose Yūdō.

At the centre of the school's emblem is the character 真 (shin), meaning ‘truth’. Its surrounding geometric and pine-needle forms draw on traditional symbolism connecting heaven, earth and humanity.

The vase retains its original design drawing and Japanese explanatory documents, dated 7 January 1988, detailing the meaning and purpose behind its creation.

Saturday appreciation post. A signed bronze vase by Yashima Boshū (八島望舟, 1925–2001), a recognised Japanese metal artist from Takaoka.

One of the favourites so far, and one that was particularly hard to part with.

Photographs captured the form, but not the way it sat in space. It is not the kind of piece that feels visually dominant at first glance, but in hand it carries a quiet visual weight.

Now sold.

A little Saturday appreciation for some 100-year-old Art Deco drama.

Both WMF pieces are now sold.

French Art Deco lidded box in black Hyalith glass, c. 1930s.

A silver-coloured geometric grid gives the rounded body a clear Art Deco order. The spherical finial completes its compact silhouette.

Ebony three-figure sculpture, Tanzania, c. 1960s-70s.

Attributed to the Makonde carving tradition, the sculpture places three elongated figures around a smooth sphere. Most of its volume and weight sit above the narrow figures and the open spaces between them.
