20th Century/Shōwa Period Murashido Patinated and Polished Bronze Japanese Vase

About the Item

20th century/Shōwa period murashido patinated and polished bronze japanese vase By: unknown Material: bronze, copper, metal Technique: murashido, cast, patinated, polished, metalwork Dimensions: 4 in x 11 in Date: 20th century Style: Shōwa Place of origin: Japan This elegant 20th century japanese bronze vase exemplifies the murashido technique of metal finishing introduced in the early 19th century. The elongated ovoid vase was created by dipping the hot bronze in oil after firing, then smoking it with burning rice straw. This distinctive process produces colored patinas on the bronze surface, often resembling an organic marble effect. The murashido technique results in a unique visual depth and dimension to the bronze, as evidenced by this fine example. With its splashed oil patinas and smoked finish, this vase displays the hallmarks of the intricate japanese murashido metalworking tradition.
