Antique Japanese Meiji Period Bronze Vase (High Relief Birds & Blossoms) c.1890 to 1910

High relief bronze with birds & blossoms – japan circa 1890–1910

I’m always open to a good offer. If you like this piece and don’t ask - you’ll never know!

A beautiful and authentic japanese bronze vase dating to the meiji period (c. 1890–1910), featuring exceptional high-relief decoration of birds perched among flowering branches in the traditional kachō-ga (birds and flowers) style.

The vase displays the rich dark chocolate patina collectors look for and has remained unpolished, preserving its original antique finish. The quality of the casting is evident in the deeply undercut birds and finely modelled floral decoration, characteristics associated with the finest japanese export bronzes produced during the late 19th century.

The base carries an impressed circular japanese maker’s seal. While the exact workshop has yet to be definitively identified, the mark is consistent with meiji-period export bronzes from renowned kyoto workshops.

Features:

Genuine japanese meiji period bronze vase (c. 1890–1910)
High-relief birds and flowering branches decoration
Original untouched chocolate-brown patina
Impressed japanese maker’s seal to the base
Excellent decorative and collector’s piece

This would make an impressive addition to any collection of japanese art, asian antiques, or meiji metalwork, and also works beautifully as a standalone display piece.

This price reflects the quality of the casting and craftsmanship while leaving room for negotiation. Comparable attributed examples can achieve substantially higher prices when the workshop is confirmed.

Collection preferred, or postage can be arranged at the buyer’s expense.
