A lovely Japanese ivory okimono of a tea ceremony tableau. The teapot and matcha preparing utensils are exquisitely carved, perfectly evoking the cha-no-yu culture so revered by Japanese tradition. Tiny lacquer marks suggesting details on the teapot are the perfect finishing touch. This would be a beautiful way to add a sense of realism to any ivory collection of okimono.
This is likely a piece from the late 19th to early 20th century, most likely Meiji period circa turn of the century. The attention to detail of carving suggests Tokyo School craftsmanship.
