Vase - Bronze - Japan - Mimikuchi 耳口 vase
Fantastically shaped large bronze Mimikuchi 耳口 (ear-mouth) flying handle vase. The vase has two large flat handles smoothly running into the mouth, its body has four sides and each side is decorated with a spiral in relief. With very nice original patina.
The vase has a very small dent below 1 spiral, (see last picture) and some light traces of age. Please look at the photos for a condition reference.
Mimikuchi-form vases derive from archaic Chinese pottery vessels with similar but less forceful handles and spirals.
Shôwa period (1926-1989).

Height: 30.3 cm; Width: 44.7 cm; Diameter: 23.5 cm.
