Baka Gaijin Posted October 7, 2023 Report Posted October 7, 2023 Good afternoon I have a Bronze Tray which depicts Pegasus over a stylised Mount Fuji. It’s signed with three Kanji. I am thinking something to do with Mobil Oil in Japan. Opinions please. 1 Quote

Baka Gaijin Posted October 8, 2023 Author Report Posted October 8, 2023 Thank You Steve, Very much appreciated. Your input has provided me with a jump off to discover Kobayashi Hideharu, the go or art name of Kobayashi Eishun, active mid 20th century. Winner of a number of awards for both metalwork and ceramics. Often Commissioned by Shobido, which is a high end shop in Osaka dealing in metalwork, jewellry, clocks, and flower vases. https://www.shobido.jp/en/history/ Also Commissioned by Yamaguchi Tankin Kabushiki Gaisha, a shop founded in Osaka specializing in the commissions of metalwork, clocks and silver items produced by leading artisans of the Meiji, Taisho and Showa period. 2 Quote
