About the Item

Meiji Period Japanese Bronze Jardinière with High-Relief Birds and Blossoms Origin: Japan, Meiji Era (1868–1912) Material: Cast Bronze with Original Gilt Accents Dimensions: Height 10 in. × Diameter 13 in. Description: A beautifully cast Meiji-period Japanese bronze jardinière featuring an exquisite takabori (high-relief) decoration of birds perched among flowering branches. This classic kachōga (bird-and-flower) motif a celebrated theme in Japanese art is rendered with remarkable depth and detail, showcasing the naturalism and refinement that defined Meiji metalwork at its peak. The rounded body rises elegantly from a narrow foot and culminates in a thick rolled rim. Across the surface, sculpted songbirds with finely chased feathers emerge from textured blossoms and curling leaves, their forms highlighted by traces of original gilt. The interplay between the warm gold tones and deep, smoky patination creates a dramatic two-tone effect that only a century of natural oxidation can achieve. This piece embodies the artistry of late 19th-century bronze workshops that produced luxury objects for both domestic collectors and the thriving international exposition markets. The weight, clarity of casting, and sculptural energy place it firmly in the category of premium Meiji export metalwork, comparable to examples by renowned Kyoto and Tokyo foundries.
