Japanese Bronze Usubata Ikebana Vase

Description

Japanese bronze usubata vase is a classic sculptural vessel designed for the traditional art of ikebana flower arrangement, showcasing fine metal craftsmanship and classical Asian aesthetics. The body features intricate relief work depicting two distinct scenic narratives; one side illustrates figures traveling through a steep, mountainous landscape on a donkey, while the reverse captures a serene pagoda nestled within a lush, mist-shrouded mountain scene. With its characteristically wide, flared rim and robust baluster form, this vessel serves as a sophisticated focal piece for an Asian art collection. Measuring approximately 9 3/4 in. H x 8 in. in diameter, the vase is presented in overall good condition, exhibiting minimal wear and a beautiful, gentle natural patina
