  1. Hi Piers - something else I didn't know

    A ghost!

    Anyone have any idea what the ghostlike sukashi on the left may represent?
  6. It is an expensive way of saying it's not modern and if you are lucky a school For a seasoned collector they usually know what they have but for a newbie what else is there? Of course it is a good selling point
  7. Hi Peter Great research as usual If you find out any more about these tsuba please let us all know
  8. Bruce That is the one I liked
  9. What a wonderful link I liked the diamond pattern
  10. My remaining tsuba are in tomorrows auction (03/04/24). Lots 86 to 93 Auction search | Sworders I have these listed with NO reserve so there must be bargains there. I lost a lot with the previous sale I've chucked in the towel with possibly a bigger loss Good luck if you do make a bid
  11. Every day is a day of learning - thanks
  12. I put in ten tsuba for auction and sold two for £220 After fees I received £91 for the two tsuba! Then for the buyer there was their commission to pay A guess is 1/3 to me and 2/3 to the auction house and VAT I guess I'd better find another way of selling
  13. To me Sado tsuba are always heavier than they look
  14. Some nice pieces and it's sad to see so many sold I put some tsuba into auction and they didn't do to well but I wish you the best of luck
  15. The auction says they will correctly orientate the tsuba shortly
  16. Will do
  17. The 30% is the rub! Displays OK in the Northern hemisphere!!!!! Only joking. I did point out the incorrect orientation but it was too late for them to change the details
  18. I wanted to test the water so I put a few tsuba in an UK auction on Tuesday 12 March 2024 at 9.30am Obviously with buyers and seller costs it dramatically affects the original price so I'll see what happens My tsuba are lots, 132 to 141 and the link is below: https://www.sworder....&sd=0&pp=96&pn=2&g=1

    Kozuka design

    Hi Piers Stylistically they are very similar but no 'E' or keyfret shapes Would it be read to to bottom or right to left? My Google search has shown me some super kimonos with a similar style I have a couple of books on mon and I've never seen anything like this

    I think having your name on the image is OK A PM request to Henrik for a clear image may be acceptable to him
  23. Hi Jean I think it looks fine as it is
  24. Nice observation about the knot I'd seen this before and had no idea what this represented until this thread
