VAN GOGH'S SIGNATURE ON A BLANK CANVAS

[Guest Simon R]

Having seen the recent thread on a beautiful Omori school fuchi with typical carved, crashing waves ('WAVE SCULPTURE'), it  reminded me of an item I had stashed away from 30 odd years ago. It is blatantly gimei with the signature of Omori Teruhide - despite being a completely plain copper fuchi with shakudo base. I well remember the late Victor Harris and I laughing about this and him comparing it to "finding a Van Gogh signature on a blank canvas"!
It really makes you wonder what on earth the forger was thinking? (Or perhaps it's just an Edo period joke?)

It’s the base model. Manual locks and no air conditioning. 🚙😂

I like it. Nice thick copper. A bit like a blank check/cheque, though.
