Japanese Bronze Ikebana/Bonsai Tray

Description

Fine bronze Ikebana tray, distinguished by the inclusion of two bunny handles on a design motif with strong influence from the early Han dynasty. Two charming rabbits hold to the sides to form small handles to present the formal tray. Mid-century creation by Yamashiro, and bearing that mark, a common studio signature. Very pretty and great weight and patina, typically an outer housing for the showing of clay or glazed growing pots. The measurements are 16.75" by 10.5", and 5.5" tall. The inner depth is 4".
