A Fantastic and large Japanese Meiji Period Patinated Bronze Centerpiece/Bowl/jar denier with Dragon in Relief. This captivating and exquisite, hand-crafted, patinated bronze centerpiece serves as a remarkable focal point, adorned with marvelously hand-chassed and hand-chiseled dragons in relief, gracefully emerging and disappearing behind artfully stylized scrolling etched clouds.
