About the Item
A beautifully crafted hand-hammered copper vase by the renowned Japanese workshop Gyokusendō, celebrated for its mastery of Tsuiki (槌起) copperware — a traditional technique with over 200 years of history.
Originating in Tsubame City, Niigata Prefecture, Tsuiki involves skillfully raising the form of a vessel by hammering sheets of copper using a variety of iron rods (toriguchi). Rather than stretching the metal, the artisan contracts it with precision strikes, repeatedly heating and softening the material in a furnace during the process. The final stage involves specialized hand-applied coloring and finishing — each piece a unique expression of the maker’s craft.
Gyokusendō is Japan’s most prestigious name in copperware, with works often held in museum and imperial collections.
• Maker: Gyokusendō (signed)
• Technique: Tsuiki (hand-hammered copper)
• Origin: Tsubame City, Japan
