This striking Japanese bronze vase was produced by Seiseido (正晴堂), associated with “Dōki no Takenaka” (銅器の竹中) in Takaoka, Toyama Prefecture, an important center of Japanese metal craftsmanship. The vase features a bold faceted body with a long, slender cylindrical neck, giving it a refined yet distinctly modern silhouette. Its most impressive feature is the richly textured surface treatment. Deep black and dark brown tones are layered with vivid turquoise-blue areas and irregular golden highlights, creating an atmospheric, almost mineral-like effect. The changing patina is particularly expressive across the angular facets, where light reveals subtle variations in color and texture. Combining traditional Takaoka bronze casting and patination techniques with a modern geometric form, this decorative vase is a fine example of postwar Japanese metalwork and displays beautifully as a standalone sculptural object.
