Description

A beautiful antique Japanese bronze vase, likely dating from the Meiji period (1868-1912). The vase features a classic form with a rounded body tapering to a slender neck and mouth. The bronze has developed a rich, aged patina with variations in color and texture.

A notable decorative element is the detailed depiction of a turtle, rendered in contrasting metalwork (possibly inlaid or applied). In Japanese culture, the turtle (kame) is a symbol of longevity and good fortune, making this a particularly auspicious piece. The contrasting metal of the turtle stands out against the darker bronze of the vase.
