Object Description
From our collection of Japanese, late 19th Century metalware, this wonderful vase depicting a pair of Toads stalking a Snail on a large stalk of Bamboo.
A brilliant example of Japanese Meiji-era (1868-19122) creativity and humour the smaller toad appears to be complaining to the Senior, perhaps a sign that he is impatient for his dinner.
Offered in great condition. Please don’t hesitate to contact us for further information or to arrange a viewing.
