About the Item

A subtle and beautiful Japanese bronze hanging flower vase, kakehana, Meiji Period, circa 1900, Japan. The slim and elegant vessel of cast bronze in the form of a stalk of segmented bamboo. The segment lines cast in low relief with beading, simulating the nodes. A simple leafed branch falls downwards at a graceful angle. While a small and whimsical cicada is cast in high relief just above the leaves. The cicada beautifully cast with fine detail, especially to the body and wings. Bamboo is a symbol of resilience and a symbol of Summer, when part of the Four Gentlemen, or a symbol of the New Year when part of the Three Friends of Winter. Cicada are beloved insects in Japan. Associated with resurrection and rebirth, they are symbols of longevity and immortality. Kakehana are hanging wall vases for use in Japanese flower arranging, ikebana. Usually crafted of bamboo or pottery, bronze ones are rare. The bronze of a deep chocolate brown with attractive red copper undertones. A small indentation to the back for hanging. Also with an etched collection number to the base.

Chinese Bronze Scholar Vase with Taotie, Ming/Qing Dynasty, 17th century, China

Located in Austin, TX

A small and interesting cast bronze archaistic scholar vase with loose ring handles and taotie mask design, late Ming or early Qing Dynasty, mid 17th century, China. The small vase of archaistic hu form, and cast with archaistic designs. Sitting on a tall splayed ring foot, the round body is cast with a large band featuring a ferocious taotie (ogre) mask.
