TGIF Steemit friends:)
I have been creative lately and combined my interest for art and interior design with my passion for silver.
Today I received a big package. Let’s look what’s inside…
Sailing Boat:
The Cranes and the Turtle:
Japanese Treasure Ship:
All 3 are sterling silver sculptures by the famous Japanese silversmith Takehiko Seki.
The sailing boat is my favourite, it almost like like it is sailing for real!
I took these pictures with my new camera, a NIKON D5300.
Very pleased with it so far!
The japanese ship is fucking awesome!

Yes, the design is beatiful and very detailed. The sail is my favorite part.

Oh wow, these all look great, @janusface. Especially the Japanese ship! And congrats with a new camera.

Thanks! Became a little tired of using my mobile camera all the time. That being said mobile cameras these days are fantastic. I have to learn how to use my new camera properly. Probably going to take picture of food etc. Not much wildlife where I live.

It's a very steep learning curve to go from a mobile camera to a real DSLR camera. There are so many more options to select from, but I'm sure it is a lot of fun once you get the hang of it.

Awesome pieces of art. For some reason they remind of my recent trip to the Galapagos! lol Hope you are well buddy!

Could be the turtle or perhaps that the ship reminds you of Darwin's ship HMS Beagle.. I am fine. Freezing cold in Oslo:)

Nice! I too use to have a large collection of Seki's stuff but moving so had to sell. I do still have a rare piece if you would be interested.. Its a 300 gram (silver weight) total weight 2500 grams with case BOnsai Tree by Seki. You could use the glass case for the boat and keep the silver bonsai. Let me know, you could pay me in sbd or steem. Here is a photo:

Thanks! That would have been a good idea, and I could use a glass case. However, I am done buying for now, and I also live in Norway:)

Im in Poland and shipping to you could be cheap as chips. Think about it, I really need to sell it as I can not take it in my luggage. I could do a little over spot silver price plus shipping off course.

It is certainly nice to look at.. What about 20 SBD and I will also cover the shipping?

Sorry, but what you are offering is below silver scrap price- its 290 grams of native virgin pure silver(what the tag says in Japanese).

Ok. 300 gram in silver is much more than similar bonsais I found (50ish grams silver). Do you have som kind of link or documentation (photo) :)?

Yeah, This is the largest one that Seki made. The case alone measures 30 X 25 X 30cm. I will take it out of the box this weekend and get it on a scale. Then I will snap a few pics and reply back with them.

@janusface,
Don't make me crazy! All 3 are silver sculptures? How much worth of silver is there? I can't believe, and the Sailing Boats gives luck to the entire house! This is one of the famous believe of my country! Those are amazing and I like your camera as well!
Cheers~

so the sculptures are completely made out of silver?
if yes this is the perfect combination of art and Investment.
In addition, this would be a great present idea for every sailer.

I am sure you will want to be discouraged, if you do not mind visit my bloq, i hope you can give input to my writing and direct me @janusface
Give a little smile (Save the children)
