Vase - Bronze - Japan - H25cm Houn Vase w/Box (No reserve price)

Title of work: Shuho Bronze Vase — A vessel touched by time and light

This is a beautiful bronze vase featuring an elegant and refined crane motif, rendered in rich relief across its surface. The material—bronze—gives the piece a dignified weight and deep patina that resonates with traditional metalwork aesthetics, making it both a decorative object and a collectible antique.

The crane depicted on the body of the vase is a potent symbol in East Asian art and culture, representing longevity, good fortune, and enduring grace. In Japan, cranes are especially revered as auspicious creatures that embody wishes for a long and prosperous life—a theme frequently expressed in decorative arts.


The presence of a signed artist’s mark confirms the vase’s creator, adding authenticity and artistic value that appeals to collectors and enthusiasts of antique metalwork. The included wooden tomobako (storage box) with inscriptions further enhances the piece’s completeness and collectibility, preserving it in a traditional manner that is appreciated in both the art and antique markets.

This vase harmoniously blends craftsmanship, symbolic design, and functional form—its graceful profile and crane imagery make it equally suited to exhibition as a focal point in interior décor or as part of a curated collection of fine bronze works. The item’s antique character and quality of execution give it a presence that transcends mere utility, inviting admiration from viewers and collectors alike.
