AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

In 1995, two pieces of utensils were made by Japanese copper casting process. One is a double-eared candlestick with candle needles, and the other is a flower vessel with the same pattern. It adopts an integrated casting process. The body of the vessel is decorated with lotus petal patterns and divine pattern emblems. The ears are in the shape of auspicious animals. The patina is warm and thick, showing a natural and ancient color. Candles can be placed directly in the candle holder, and the flower holder can be used as a tea ceremony flower vessel. The shapes of the two vessels echo each other, and the patterns are unified. It is a representative style of the traditional Japanese Zen tea ceremony and the offering vessel in front of the Buddha. This is a hand-cast copper product of a specific year, with fine craftsmanship and good preservation.

Flower vessel: height about 17cm, diameter about 4cm
Candlestick: height about 23cm, diameter about 5.5cm
