Beautiful decorative bronze vase - Marked "Yoshida zo" - Japan - ca. 1885 (Meiji period). The decorations were all done by hand. You can imagine how much time this takes. Especially the dragons on the neck of the vase are beautifully done and stick out. Various animals can be seen; turtles, birds, herons. The gold spots give the vases a beautiful authentic look. A special detail is the dragons facing each other. In reasonably good condition. At the top is a crack in the bronze. At the bottom is a small hole in the bronze. These imperfections arose over the years. Weight: 1,826 g Dimensions: 20 x 16 x 16 cm Will be packaged with care and sent by registered post.
