Japanese Stunning Pair of Antique Blue and White Crane Vases

1313 Japanese peacock brass planter with stoneware vase.

This wooden crane figurine was crafted in Japan in the late 20th century. The artist utilized the natural shape of the wood, particularly the roots, to carve the crane's body. The base is carved from a knot, and its powerful, organic contours convey the base's sense of life. This piece elevates nature's natural form to the crane with minimal modification. Cranes have long been considered symbols of longevity and good fortune, and have been used in wedding and New Year's decorations. The idea of ​​emanating the crane's shape from the roots of a tree seems to reflect the Japanese view of nature and their cherishing the "signs of things." The slender legs simply slide into the base, allowing for easy disassembly. This figurine is easy to transport and store, making it a convenient display piece. Weighing just 0.75 kg, it can be easily placed anywhere.
