Gasam Posted December 16, 2016 Report Posted December 16, 2016 Heyas, Might have an option on this Netsuke for about USD 300. Little longer than 2 inches. Knowing nothing of Netsuke, I am of course looking to check if anyone knowledgeable would consider this a good deal :-) Do I see a mei-like scribling top left quadrant of backside Picture? Also, can anyone see offhand if this is Ivory. Seller doesnt state. Cheers, Quote
Fuuten Posted December 16, 2016 Report Posted December 16, 2016 They look like bone to me. Also I've seen better. I would skip on this. Quote
Brian Posted December 16, 2016 Report Posted December 16, 2016 I don't see any quality at all there.$300 Buys you a fairly ok tsuba. I would pass. Quote
Gasam Posted December 16, 2016 Author Report Posted December 16, 2016 Thank you as always people. Skipping on this one then! Cheers, Quote
custodian Posted December 19, 2016 Report Posted December 19, 2016 Looks more like composition to me. Finish is wrong. The cracking/flaking on the bottom (left side of the photo) is wrong. The staining looks like something out of China from the 70's or 80's (maybe). Without 'hands-on', just opinion. 1 Quote
