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. Ex. Christie's, 2013.

Chinese Bronze Scholar Vase with Taotie, Ming/Qing Dynasty, 17th century, China

Located in Austin, TX

A small and interesting cast bronze archaistic scholar vase with loose ring handles and taotie mask design, late Ming or early Qing Dynasty, mid 17th century, China. The small vase of archaistic hu form, and cast with archaistic designs. Sitting on a tall splayed ring foot, the round body is cast with a large band featuring a ferocious taotie (ogre) mask. The taotie mask in this case id decidedly feline, with a ruyi shaped snout above a whiskered mouth. Two flanges stick out to either side of the mask, reminiscent of ears. A wide, tall neck rises from the body, terminating in a slightly everted mouth. The archaistic cast design on the neck is not as clear, but most likely represents Fusang, a mythical island in the Eastern Sea where the legendary Fusang tree grows. The Fusang tree, home to the mythical Sun Bird...
