TITLE Keiyu – Japanese Bronze Vase – Cobalt Blue – Imperial Decoration Commemorative Gift DESCRIPTION An elegant Japanese bronze flower vase created by Keiyu (啓祐), featuring a beautiful deep cobalt-blue finish with shimmering metallic reflections. The vase has a graceful rounded body, a slender neck, and a slightly flared opening, creating a refined and harmonious silhouette. Its distinctive surface combines deep midnight blue, brilliant cobalt-blue highlights, and subtle golden speckling, producing a striking appearance that changes beautifully with the light. A small golden chrysanthemum crest decorates the upper part of the vase, adding an elegant traditional Japanese detail. This vase was specially produced as a non-commercial commemorative gift to celebrate the conferment of a Japanese decoration of honor. It was not intended for general retail sale, making it a distinctive commemorative piece rather than an ordinary commercially produced vase. The set includes its original wooden presentation box, a wooden display base, and an accompanying commemorative plaque. The combination of its sophisticated shape, rich metallic coloration, and traditional Japanese decorative elements makes this an attractive piece for collectors of Japanese metalwork and decorative arts.
