Object Description
From our collection of Japanese, Meiji-era (1868-1912) metalwork, this fine pair of Bronze vases with multi-metal decoration of expressive naturalistic fruiting vines, highlighted with clever use of Gold, Shakudo and Copper.
The distinctive and difficult to achieve bright red is a patination seen on the works of celebrated artist Suzuki Chokichi and those that studied under his supervision, so it is possible there is an association there.
