About the Item

An unusual and impressive antique Japanese Meiji bronze woven basket wall vase mounted with a cicada dating between 1868 and 1912. The heavily made wall vase is finely made and of long narrow basket shape with a detailed basket weave to the body with a rope twist opening. Two fungi-like plants form wing like handles to either side of the upper body and a large Cicada is perched on the lower body with its wings resting on its back. The vase has a wonderful natural aged patina, and the vase is signed to the back of one of the fungi ‘handles’. An integral hanging loop is attached to the back of the body and forms part of the basket weave design. Provenance: From the private oriental collection of an elderly gentleman. Acquired from the UK Art Market The vase is offered in fine original condition with wear associated with age and use.
