Object Description
From our collection of Japanese metalwork of the late 19th Century, this interesting Meiji-era Bronze vase with multi-patinated decoration depicting Geese in flight.
The vase features a beautifully rendered design showing a pair of Geese coming down to land no a lake. Their plumage highlighted in subtle Silver and Shakudo.
To the top of the vase, wispy clouds are also highlighted using similar techniques and flush inlaid reeds and other vegetation mark the edge of the water. An interesting basket/net sits at the bottom of the image seemingly containing different coloured rocks and pebbles.
