This is a copper vase made during the Edo to Meiji periods, over 100 years ago. In the center, there is a wave-like pattern, and above and below, there are arabesque patterns. There are protrusions on the upper sides, which might have once held handles. However, there is nothing there now, so it's unclear what was originally attached. There is an inscription on the bottom. Would you consider this as a collection if you're fond of old vases?
