Fine crackle ware. Excellent condition, minor rubbed on enamels. An antique Japanese tsuba. Bronze with relief of birds on branche and water on the bottom. It is likely 18th-19th.
Edge has some dents, surface shows one deep scratch.
The tsuba is also warped. It is heavy and has fine detail of old Japanese metal workmanship. Hu Zhengyan was a fine amateur calligrapher, painter and carver of seals. This set seems likely that it was a mixture of stencil printing and woodblock. Many were published both in China and Japan.
