Description This is a vintage bronze vase produced in Takaoka, Japan, known for its long tradition of bronze casting. The piece features a strong abstract relief pattern reminiscent of wood grain, combined with a compact, well-balanced form and small looped handles on both sides. Its sculptural quality and modernist aesthetic make it suitable as a decorative object even without floral arrangement. The aged patina and surface wear enhance its character and reflect its vintage nature rather than detract from it. Condition Vintage condition with visible wear consistent with age and use. There are surface scratches, patina, and wear particularly around the lower body and rim. Minor dents are present, and there is a small chip on one of the side handles. The interior shows age-related patina and wear, with no holes or structural issues observed. Please refer carefully to the photographs for details.
