Product Description A cast copper decorative vessel in the zun form (sonkata), modelled after ancient ritual bronzes. It presents an elegant trumpet-shaped profile, flowing from a widely flared rim through a constricted body down to a spreading foot. The surface is finely carved with archaic-style motifs including taotie (tōtetsu) mask designs, leiwen (thunder patterns), and leaf-shaped panels on the neck. Flanged ridges (flanges) with notched edges project from the shoulders and foot. The exterior bears a dark copper ground with a patina of verdigris, while the lighter tones retained in the incised lines enhance the three-dimensional quality of the decoration. The interior is smooth and matte, in a deep green-black colour. The base features two impressed marks: one stylised square seal and one smaller seal-like stamp. A wooden box is included, inscribed in ink with an address in Osaka (Koraibashi) and the workshop name, bearing a red seal impression.
