Glazed Stoneware Curio On A Bamboo Handle (japan—shōwa Period?)—20th Century

A striking “mystery object” made of glazed stoneware in beautiful shades of brown, ochre, cream, and black, mounted on a natural bamboo handle

The head, pierced with nine evenly spaced holes and accented by a half-moon relief, suggests a function
that remains unidentified to this day, further enhancing the enigmatic nature of this piece

The piece as a whole suggests Japanese craftsmanship, likely from the Shōwa era (1926–1989), or from a workshop influenced by Japanese aesthetics

An attractive, handcrafted piece, enigmatic, and of fine quality
