About the Item
An elegant Japanese vase from the Meiji period, crafted in polished brass with embossed copper applications (repoussé), depicting a delicate plant motif with open flowers, sinuous leaves, and a butterfly in flight. The shape of the vase, with a globular body and tall cylindrical neck, reflects the aesthetic canons of the late 19th century, characterized by organic lines and naturalistic decoration.
The meticulously delineated flowers appear to float above the metal surface thanks to the contrast between the red copper and the gilded brass, creating a sense of volume and movement. The butterfly, gracefully integrated among the floral stems, provides dynamism and a classic symbolism of renewal and ephemeral beauty.
Ideal as a decorative piece, this vase stands out both for its sculptural presence and for its artistic and technical value, being a refined example of the decorative metalwork typical of the modernist period.
