Toshikane Porcelain Bamboo Vintage Sterling Silver screw back earrings - hotsell Signed and Made in Japan - clip on

A lovely vintage pair of Toshikane Japanese ceramic screw backed earrings in the coveted black bamboo pattern.

The ceramic pieces are marked with Toshikane's impressed mark.

Toshikane of Tokyo created pieces from the 1904s to the 1960s. They started hotsell in 1943 with porcelain buttons.

These bamboo earrings would likely originally have been a button design.

Toshikane is special in that the ceramic designs are raised from the surface giving them a tactile feel. The exquisite delicate carving on them is done by hand, make them a work of Japanese ceramic art.

The clips are marked Made in Japan

Rounds are approx. .75" diameter. Lovely vintage condition. Clips are tight and gold metal is bright.

I did not notice any chips or cracks but there is minimal vintage wear as might be expected.
