A copper vase by Japanese metal artist Harasōemon Seiun (原惣右エ門 晴雲). This elegant vase features a refined cylindrical form with a slightly flared rim and a beautiful aged copper patina. The surface is decorated with a delicately executed floral relief, giving the piece a quiet dignity characteristic of Japanese studio metalwork. On the reverse side, the vase features a design incorporating a symbol associated with Kashiwazaki City, the birthplace of the artist, adding an interesting regional identity to the work. The artist's name is engraved on the bottom of the vase.
