JapanX Posted August 6, 2012 Author Share Posted August 6, 2012 (edited) Take a good look at the ribbon rosette (obviously it was added lately). Different (later than 5th class that we saw before) workmanship. Edited August 6, 2012 by JapanX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul wood Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 [attachment =245925:IMG_3037.JPG] Amazing, have never seen a cased Hirato piece before, what amazing photos. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanX Posted August 6, 2012 Author Share Posted August 6, 2012 Now we really need the photo of early Hirato Rising Sun Order with Paulownia leaf directly fixed to the Sun These are quaisi rare ... All we have is black and white photo of such piece in Peterson book (3rd edition, p. 25) I don`t know why Peterson thought that this direct fixation was the execlusive feature of 3rd class... All earlie Hirato pieces (from 1st to 6th class) have these feature. Cheers, Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dieter3 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 (edited) Kinda figured it'd go high. Did you catch that Korean order a few days ago though that went for 2,198,000 yen? PHEW!! Or some big number like that, can't recall exactly, but it was around $24,000 U.S.!! Edited August 8, 2012 by Dieter3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
