ChrisM Posted August 23, 2019 Report Posted August 23, 2019 Hi All, I'm looking for 2 sets of gold water dragon menuki. Ideally old with papers, but I would be willing to commission a set from a reputable goldsmith. These are for a daisho set, and are the last pieces I need. I've been trolling eBay and related sites for a few months, but haven't seen anything I like. Some examples of menuki that I quite like: https://yuhindo.com/ko-mino-ryu/ https://yuhindo.com/goto-teijo-dragon-menuki/ Any suggestions for a goldsmith experienced creating menuki? //Chris 2 Quote
TETSUGENDO Posted August 23, 2019 Report Posted August 23, 2019 Hi Chris, I wouldn't bother with a commission as fine dragon menuki are available. Just frequent the better sites, search the net, and you'll find exactly what your looking for. Be patient. Cheers, -S- 3 Quote
Brian Posted August 23, 2019 Report Posted August 23, 2019 Ford Hallam or one of his students would be the obvious choice. But I agree. If you speak to some of the larger dealers like Darcy or Mike Y or others on this board, they should be able to find you something. or Kelly in Japan. 1 Quote
ChrisM Posted August 23, 2019 Author Report Posted August 23, 2019 Thanks. I'll see if I can find such a dealer. The "patient" part is the hard part... ! Quote
