Pair Very Fine Japanese Meiji Bronze Usubata Rims
A Magnificent Pair of Antique Japanese Bronze Usubata Vase Rims.
(Originally made for the traditional Japanese art of flower arranging - IKEBANA).
This exceptional pair of Usubata are heavily cast in solid bronze and each feature a similar design of five Cranes in flight amid billowing clouds. The design is very much in the Chinese taste.
The quality of the casting is fine and there is a good level of detail. The surface is further embellished by intricate silver wire inlay, highlighting the feathers of the birds and swirls in the clouds. The rim edges similarly have a hooped or 'fish scale' pattern, whilst the sides display a beautiful geometric leaf design, all as shown.
These usubata are unusually ornate. They date to the mid-late 19th Century (Meiji Era), c.1880. It is likely they were made specifically either for a high-ranking client or for an international exhibition.
They are large and imposing, each measuring 32.5cms wide x 12.5cms high.
The total weight is over 12kg (!)
These items, highly decorative as they are, would make magnificent candle stands / centrepieces for a large dining table, or, in the same role, flanking a dressing or console table.
These are stand-out, high-end examples of antique Japanese artwork in bronze.
Highly recommended.
