With many classic and significant masterpieces passing down through generations, Ryubundo kettles are produced with the highest standard of craftsmanship, and with precious materials.From the founder of the studio, Shiho Ryubun (1735-1798), every successive director of the studio Ryubundo were talented not only in metalworking, but also in painting, calligraphy, and poetry. Therefore, the aristocratic, literatic tastes are the main features of Ryubundo tetsubin. From the middle of the Edo Period (1603-1868) when tea culture was popular everywhere in Japan, the development of Ryubundo reached a boom, and this boom continued to the latter Meiji Period (1868~1912). The studio was mentioned in the ironic novel by the famous Japanese writer Natsume Soseki,I Am a Cat. The sentence writes “those people living a luxurious life would lose their sleep if they could not hear the sound made by the lid of Ryubundo iron kettles when water is boiling.”A closely comparable Ryubundo iron testubin of similar form and technique, but with butterfly decoration, was sold at Bonhams New York, 15 March 2017, lot 6300.
- RARE AND IMPORTANT GEORGIA ATTRIBUTED
RARE AND IMPORTANT GEORGIA ATTRIBUTED PAINT DECORATED L...dated 1871, case with strong yellow, blue, and green stylized decoration on bright red ground, painted with initials "JH" and date of 1871, poplar and yellow pine (by microanaylsis) construction, hinged lid with open interior with compartment with a sliding cover, original butt hinges and iron lock on brightly painted shaped feet, cut nail construction, 21-3/4 x 37-1/4 x 16 in.
Provenance:
according to correspondence from Richard and Betty Ann Rasso, family tradition states that this chest was made for Jane Hall, a descendant of Lyman Hall, a signer of the Declaration of Independence from Georgia (Lyman Hall has no known direct line of descendants; Jane Hall was possibly a relative through another line of the family); Elliott and Grace Snyder Antiques, Richard & Betty Ann and Rasso Antiques East, Chatham, New York, purchased July 6th, 1999; Property from Historic Dean Hall Plantation, South Carolina
Note: While the design precedents for this fascinating chest point to Europe, the yellow pine and poplar materials confirm its American and likely southern origin. The 1871 date of the chest and its unusual feet and paint design point to a first generation European immigrant working here. While the Georgia provenance is anecdotal, its connections to that state remain a strong possibility. Reconstruction era Georgia had a number of European communities, many of them enticed to the state for labor.
