AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Item Description
A square lidded vessel of cast metal with a brown patina highlighted with green and gold tones. The wide, flat rim features densely worked raised scroll decoration in an archaic style. Around the central opening runs a band of fine dotted decoration. The removable lid has a hammered texture and is pierced with a four-petalled floral motif. At the centre of the lid is a small knob-shaped handle, and each corner is decorated with dots and lines arranged in a radiating pattern. The edges of the rim are twisted and rolled in a wave-like manner. Below this, the body is a plain, tapering, dark brown square vessel. Both the raised and pierced work are finely executed, making this piece well suited for display as a decorative object.

Seller's Story
A Japanese living in Japan, I appreciate traditional and modern art.
I specialize in selecting artworks that reflect quiet strength, refined beauty, and timeless craftsmanship of Japanese culture. My collection focuses on pieces that carry a story—whether traditional ukiyo‑e prints, contemporary works inspired by wabi‑sabi aesthetics, or handcrafted items created by regional artisans.
I take pride in offering works that are both visually compelling and culturally meaningful. Every item is carefully curated for authenticity, condition, and artistic value, ensuring that bidders can participate with confidence.
My goal is to connect international collectors with the richness of Japanese artistry—pieces that bring harmony, character, and a touch of Japan’s spirit into your home.
I look forward to sharing these works with you and hope they inspire the same appreciation and joy they bring to me.
