About the Item

Japan, a bronze Ikebana vase, 35cm, 14” high and 30cm, 12” diameter, Meiji period (1868-1912). The bronze gourd form usubata crafted in three sections in an Art Nouveau style, two sections signed by the 19th century maker Yoshi Massa. Fine condition. Provenance: Private Connecticut collection. History of this form: This type of bulbous bronze flower vase was used by the Ikenobo school, the oldest school of Japanese flower arrangement (Ikebana). Kyoto was the birthplace both of ikebana and of the bronze flower vessel, and scrolls dating from the second half of the 17th century show first examples of this most characteristic of Japanese bronze forms, the so-called futabana (two-flower) vase. With the re-opening of overseas contacts from 1850s, metal craftsmen and sword smiths manufactured many of these magnificent showpieces.
