Chinese or Japanese antiques/Before the 19th century
Located in Sammu-shi, Chiba
This is a very interesting old copper vase, believed to have been made in Japan or China. Its distinctive shape and high level of decoration make it a gem that stands out among the many copper vessels I have seen. The body is cylindrical, with a tightened shape at the top and bottom. The legs are slender and tapered, giving the overall design a beautiful sense of tension. This “tapered hem” design lends a special elegance to the vase's appearance. In terms of decoration, the intricate patterns encircling the upper and lower bands are particularly striking. These patterns are geometric abstractions of clouds and dragons. On both sides, small designs resembling animal or dragon faces are attached, adding to the elegant decorative beauty of the design. The copper surface has a deep amber luster from years of use, and the patina from aging captivates the viewer's heart. There are some dents and signs of use on the surface, but these are also charming elements that testify to the fact that this vase has been cherished and used for a long time. When half-filled with water and left for 24 hours, no leaks were detected. It is practical and can be used as a flower vase. Whether filled with fresh flowers, branches, or dried flowers, it will add a sense of sophistication to any space and make a statement wherever it is placed. The accompanying paulownia box is inscribed with “Tang Dynasty Ming Dynasty Antique Copper Vase...
