Description: A fine quality Meiji bronze vase of exceptional workmanship, depicting a writhing dragon amidst stylized clouds encircling the shaft, and 4 cranes in various pursuits and mature pine branches decorating the bulbous body. Lustrous patination of a coppery sheen; gilt highlights strategically placed to further accentuate the already elaborate and masterful design--perfect from every angle. It stands 11-5/8" tall, and it is incredibly substantial for the size. Words can be insufficient at times to describe the beauty or the way an object is felt when held. Maker's signature on the bottom. Condition One dragon claw broken, otherwise excellent. For the serious collector, and Japanophile. Thank you for viewing! Free shipping to continental US.
