Very Large Fantastic Japanese Meji Period Patinated Bronze Dragon Vase

About the Item

A Fantastic Japanese Meji Period Patinated Bronze Dragon Vase. This vase is both elegant and awe-inspiring specifically for its Size and shape. The very large vase is wrapped around with a Ryu dragon that is entwined in high relief and with great detail. The scrolled patinated bronze base and wonderful patinated bronze fretwork on the turned collar at the top of the vase are testaments to the attention to detail and care that went into creating this museum quality antique. As you gaze upon this magnificent piece, you cannot help but be captivated by the dragon that clutches a crystal pearl in its front claws. This dragon is a symbol of strength and power in Japanese culture, highly respected and honored for its ability to protect and bring good fortune. The dragon's wisdom and power are imparted to all who behold it, offering strength and courage at every important turning point in life. The dragon is wrapped around the eight sided vase, holding himself outwards with one arm extended, grasping onto a beautiful round crystal. It is said that the dragon derives its power from the crystal pearl, allowing it to ascend into the heavens and rule over a spectacular palace. The dragon is seen as a true benefactor and protector of mankind, a powerful and wise guardian that shields us from universal dangers. As you continue to admire this museum quality antique, you will be struck by the intricate details of the dragon's body, its scales, spines and long snaking tail as the serpent entwines itself around the neck of the vase. It is a testament to the mastery of Japanese artistry that such an exquisite piece was created. This bronze dragon vase is not just a work of art, it is a symbol of power, wisdom, and good fortune that will bring joy and inspiration to all who behold it. Japan, circa: 19th century.
