Description

This stunning Japanese Meiji-era cast brass vase stands approximately 14 inches tall and commands attention with its dramatic hexagonal form, elegantly flared trumpet neck, and three bold scroll-tipped foliate handles that rise from the bulbous body like wings caught mid-flight. The body is divided into six lobed panels separated by raised ribs, all resting on a crisp hexagonal stepped foot that mirrors the geometry of the flared opening above. The base bears a two-character Japanese maker's mark or artist's signature rendered in ink or lacquer, lending authenticity and intrigue to this already compelling piece. Condition is consistent with honest age, showing natural patina, minor surface wear, and some tarnishing throughout, with a small chip noted at the rim lip -- all of which only adds to its undeniable character and collectible appeal.
