Vintage 1950’s Japanese Monarch Butterfly Garden Outdoor Lantern
Located in New Orleans, LA
A vintage Japanese cast iron butterfly lantern will add some whimsy to your garden. Japan is known for creating these charming hanging cast iron lanterns for pathways and gardens. Made during the reign of Emperor Hirohito also known as the Showa era (1926-1989). Butterflies embodies change and growth. They are also seen as souls of deceased loved ones. They're also associated with good fortune and happiness.
It is a fine, hand cast and unusual iron butterfly lantern in the form of a Japanese Monarch Butterfly. Hang in your favorite indoor or special outdoor space. It sits on its own as well.
As a gorgeous night light it will burst brilliant night light in all directions from all sides and many openings. This is an old vintage, heavy hand-cast, attractive eye catching lantern with a handsome dark patina.
There is a piece on the bottom that unscrews so you can add a small candle or LED. There is a ring at the top so you can also hang. It will be a fun conversation piece to enjoy for years to come.
The unusual mark on the bottom front of this iron butterfly resembles the Japanese kanji character for "work" or "craft" (\(\mathbf{I}\)), and is sometimes found on items like vintage and antique Japanese cast...
