About the Item
Japanese vase from the Meiji Period (1868-1912).
This is a beautiful pair of antique decorative vases created in the imperial Japan during the Meiji period (1868-1912), back in 1910. These vases have been crafted in the mixed metal technique, composed by the made bodies crafted in solid polished bronze with decorations in gold and silver. The vases are decorated with flowers, birds and big chrysanthemums flowers, the symbol of the Meiji imperial ruler.
Mixed Metals Technique
Japanese mixed metal techniques, particularly Mokume Gane and Shakudo, are renowned for their unique layered patterns and intricate designs. Mokume Gane, meaning "wood grain," involves fusing multiple layers of different colored metals, often gold, silver, and copper, into a single billet and then manipulating it to create a wood-like pattern. Shakudo, a copper-gold alloy, is known for its deep purple or black patina and is often used in inlay work or as a decorative element.
The chrysanthemum
In Japan, chrysanthemums, known as "kiku," are more than just a pretty flower; they are a symbol of the imperial family, longevity, and rejuvenation, according to the Sherman Library and Gardens. They are a prominent feature in Japanese art, culture, and even on official objects like the 50 yen coin. The flower is associated with the fall season and is celebrated during the Kiku no Sekku festival.

The Meiji Period
This era of Japanese history that extended from October 23, 1868 to July 30, 1912.The Meiji era was the first half of the Empire of Japan, when the Japanese people moved from being an isolated feudal society at risk of colonization by Western powers to the new paradigm of a modern, industrialized nation state and emergent great power, influenced by Western scientific, technological, philosophical, political, legal, and aesthetic ideas. As a result of such wholesale adoption of radically different ideas, the changes to Japan were profound, and affected its social structure, internal politics, economy, military, and foreign relations. The period corresponded to the reign of Emperor Meiji. It was preceded by the Keiō era and was succeeded by the Taishō era, upon the accession of Emperor Taishō.
