Pair of Antique Japanese Quality Meiji Bronze Vases
An exquisite pair of Japanese Meiji-period bronze vases beautifully cast and finely detailed. Each vase displays an elegant baluster silhouette enriched with crisply modelled foliate relief panels and adorned with sculptural mythological beast handles—classic hallmarks of refined Meiji craftsmanship.
The bronzes retain a superb, even patination with subtle tonal variations that enhance the depth of the casting. The flared rims with textured borders add further sophistication making these compact vases exceptionally decorative despite their modest scale. A distinguished and well-matched pair, ideal for elevated cabinet display or as refined accent pieces within a curated interior.
Condition
Very good condition. Beautiful patina with gentle, expected surface wear commensurate with age.
