On offer is an antique 19th century Japanese bronze vase, dating to the Meiji period and decorated with an impressive raised relief dragon. The vase is cylindrical in form and heavily cast, with the dragon modelled in deep three dimensional relief extending up to approximately one inch from the surface, demonstrating skilled bronze work typical of the period.

During the Meiji era, Japanese bronzes were widely admired for their technical quality and dramatic mythological imagery, with dragons symbolising power and protection. This example retains a rich aged patina that enhances the detailed surface modelling. The base has been drilled, indicating former use as a lamp, and some of the original feet are missing. Despite this, the vase remains in good overall antique condition and displays very well as a decorative object.

A strong example of an antique Japanese bronze vase that offers presence, age, and authentic Meiji craftsmanship.
