Description

This is a bronze flower vase produced as part of the traditional Japanese metal craft known as Takaoka Copperware.

The body features a deep verdigris-style patina and is decorated with floral motifs resembling calla lilies, expressed through elegant metal ornamentation.

Its smoothly curved form gives the piece a refined appearance, allowing it to harmonize not only with traditional Japanese interiors but also with modern spaces.

Takaoka Copperware is one of Japan’s most renowned metal craft traditions, developed around Takaoka City in Toyama Prefecture, and is especially appreciated for its sophisticated casting and coloring techniques.

The vase comes with its original wooden box and can be enjoyed not only as a flower vessel, but also as a decorative interior object or a collectible example of Japanese craftsmanship.
