Japanese Tōdō bronze crane-neck vase (Tsurukubi Hanairi), crafted by the metal artist Negoro Takuzo (Kanashi). This elegant classic crane-neck form is widely used for Japanese Ikebana and tea ceremony flower arrangement. The surface has a smooth, subtle dark bronze patina. The vase comes with its original wooden tomobako box, hand inscribed and sealed by the artist. The signature mark is visible on the base of the vase.
