Polish is beautiful and the artist was well in control of the surface. No pitting or bubble pops.
The piece has that extra something, when it's in your hand, that just exemplifies quality. The colors are deep and beautiful the way they are applied and shaded. Very realistic and the wire work, though small, is super fine and super accurate.
This is the hand of a skilled artist. Though the piece is u marked, it is definitely the work of Ando. This item is a perfect addition to any collection of Asian antiques, especially for those who appreciate the art and history of Japan.
Don't miss out on the chance to own this unique and exquisite piece of history.
