Massive Japanese Meiji Period Bronze Vase, Late 19th Century, Japan
About the Item
A very large Meiji period bronze vase, possibly for temple use, with high relief design and elephant head handles, late 19th century, Japan.
Of baluster form and unusual size, yet still retaining elegant proportions, the lobed body rising from a splayed lotus pedestal foot, and surmounted by a short neck with a finely cast band of chrysanthemum flowers in various stages of bloom.
Two large elephant mask handles adorn either side of the body. A scene of paired birds perched on blossoming peony branches cast in high relief decorates either side of the vase.
The interior base set with a silvered bronze mirror featuring a traditional design of cranes and pine, along with a large two large characters, and a lengthy inscription.
The bronze displays a rich, reddish brown, chocolaty patina.
The vase was previously used as a pedestal base for a center table and would be suitable for such use again.
