Questions About Antique Japanese Lantern
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A cherished part of Japanese culture, Japanese lanterns symbolize love, brightness and most important of all - protection from evil. Find a collection of expertly vetted Japanese lanterns from some of the world’s top reputable boutiques on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Japanese lanterns are often made of paper or silk, with a bamboo wood frame. Traditionally a candle supplied the light, but many of them today are either battery or solar operated. Shop a collection of Japanese lanterns from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The various types of Japanese lanterns have different purposes and meanings. Chōchin refers to the traditional paper-covered lanterns which are designed to hang from a hook or pole. Tsuridourou are oil lanterns that hang from the ceiling, and are usually only seen in temples. Ishidourou are made of granite and can be found in gardens and temples, and are only used in special celebrations. You’ll find a collection of Japanese lanterns from many of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 26, 2024To identify antique railroad lanterns, first see if you can locate a maker's mark on the bottom. Using trusted online resources, you can determine who produced your lantern based on these markings, and then you can research the company to find out when it was in business and making lanterns similar to yours. To be considered an antique, a railroad lantern must be at least 100 years old. If you can't find a maker's marking, it's generally necessary to use the characteristics of a lantern to date it. Because this can be difficult without experience and training, you may wish to seek the opinion of a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer when identifying unmarked railroad lanterns. Explore a selection of lanterns on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 8, 2024To tell if your Japanese pottery is antique, look for markings, which usually appear on the bottoms of pieces. If you see the word "Nippon," your piece was likely produced between 1891 and 1921, making it an antique. Pieces marked with the words "made in occupied Japan" originated between 1945 and 1952 and are vintage, based on their age. A "made in Japan" marking may indicate a vintage or contemporary piece. If you don't see any of these markings, consult trusted online resources to get a rough idea of when your pottery was produced. Any piece that dates back 100 years or more is antique. Should you encounter difficulty with the dating process, a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer can assist you. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of Japanese pottery.
