Description

Zuiho – Cast Copper Twin-Handled Vase with Phoenix Decoration – Takaoka Copperware – Original Box and Display Base

This elegant cast copper vase was created by Zuiho, a maker associated with the renowned tradition of Takaoka copperware, one of Japan’s most respected metalworking crafts from Toyama Prefecture.

The vase features a rich copper surface enhanced with beautiful green patina accents, creating a striking contrast and an impressive presence. The body is decorated with finely rendered phoenix motifs, symbols of prosperity, harmony, and good fortune in East Asian culture.

The twin handles extending from the neck are modeled in the form of stylized dragon heads, adding strength and dignity to the overall design. The combination of the phoenix decoration and dragon-inspired handles reflects traditional East Asian artistic aesthetics and craftsmanship.

With its deep copper tones, vibrant patina, and refined casting work, this piece exemplifies the beauty of traditional Japanese metal art.

Takaoka copperware has a history spanning more than 400 years and is internationally recognized for its outstanding casting techniques and decorative excellence.

The vase comes with its original presentation box and a detachable display base. It can be enjoyed as a flower vase, decorative object, or collector’s piece.
