Simply put, POA stands for “Price on Application”.
With some of our pieces, we prefer not to openly publish our asking price. We absolutely welcome visitors to the website to contact us to enquire about the cost of such pieces.
We just prefer to have a conversation to allow us to explain the pricing as well as to talk in more detail about the piece in question.
It doesn’t necessarily mean that it is a super expensive piece but it may just be that there is something unique or special that we would like to be able to tell you about in more detail.

From our collection of Oriental Art, this Japanese Meiji-era (1868-1912) Bronze vase with masterful depiction and multi-patination of a crescent Moon over a rocky landscape.
The Shakudo ink-black ground of the vase is used to great effect creating a moody backdrop of a small copse of trees on an overhanging ledge of rock. Further monoliths can be seen looming out from the gloom.
The body of the vase all black save for the slither of inlaid Silver used to pick out the crescent Moon
The real beauty of the vase can be seen when it is displayed under differing lights as this causes the landscape to be thrown into different shades creating a magical effect and a lifelike and shifting perspective on the relationship of the background and foreground.
Offered in excellent condition and signed to the underside. Please contact us for further information or to arrange a viewing.
Moon
The moon is the subject of much mythology in Japan. It can symbolize national well-being (originating in Shinto beliefs) or inner enlightenment (Buddhist beliefs)
