About the Item
A magnificent example of Japanese metal artistry, this hand-hammered copper vase was created by the renowned workshop Gyokusendō (玉川堂), known for preserving centuries-old tsuiki (鎚起) techniques — a traditional method of shaping metal with thousands of hammer strikes.
This particular vase features a faceted ovoid form and a richly iridescent patina, with hues of blue, bronze, and gold emerging organically across the hammered surface. The finish is created without artificial coloring — a result of complex heating and oxidizing processes unique to Gyokusendō’s proprietary methods.
The base bears the original red seal (刻印), and the vase is accompanied by:
• Its original kiribako (signed paulownia wood box), marked: 翔荒花瓶 (Shōkō Kabin – “Soaring Wild Flower Vase”)
• Authentic paper documentation from Gyokusendō, indicating its manufacture in Tsubame City, Niigata Prefecture, and listing it among traditional copperware items such as kettles and incense burners
• Care instructions and maker’s background included
Dimensions: 20x20x21 cm
Material: Pure hand-hammered copper
Signature: Stamped Gyokusendō (玉川堂) with seal
