About the Item

This striking Japanese bronze vase from the 20th century evokes the texture and rhythm of nature through its sculptural, bark-like surface. Cast in heavy bronze and weighing 4.9 kg, the vase is both a tactile and visual statement, resembling the rugged surface of aged tree bark with traces of verdigris adding depth and organic beauty. The form is bold yet poetic — a fusion of nature-inspired abstraction and refined metalwork. It bears the artist’s signature on the base, testifying to its handcrafted origin by a Japanese metal artist. A remarkable decorative object or collector’s piece that bridges sculpture and utility. Dimensions: Diameter: 14.5 cm (5.7 in) Height: 26.5 cm (10.4 in) Weight: 4.9 kg Condition: Excellent, with minor signs of age consistent with the material and period. Signature: Artist signed on base
