Japanese Bronze Vase Pair Meiji Period

About the Item

A fine large sized pair of Japanese bronze vases. The vases each surmounted by waisted necks flanked by two spreading handles with accents in the form of Japanese Torri (traditional Japanese gates) above a bulbous body upon a spreading circular base. The vases boldly decorated with gold, silver, shibuichi and shakudo using both hirazogan and takazogan techniques with berries amongst foliage and silver bellied sparrows. Across the neck, lapels of silver hearts boarder the gilt lip with further anamorphic dragon figures and draped inlay. The vases of elongated form and of very high quality are unusually not signed. The master craftsman who painstakingly created the vases did not sign them and therefore the maker remains unknown. Notes Shibuichi 四分一 Japanese copper alloy Zogan 象嵌 Japanese word for Metal Inlay Takaniku zogan or taka zogan 高象嵌 Mound Inlay technique, inlay of raised or high relief solid sheet metal. The forms of this technique can also be carved, engraved and inlaid. Hira zogan 平象嵌 the inlay of sheet metal flush with the base metal Shakudō 赤銅 A billion of gold and copper which can be patinated or left in its original state which resembles bronze.
