Japanese, (Meiji Period, 1868-1912)
Matching Vase Pair
unsigned, opposing decoration
bronze with onlaid silver and lacquer
8 5/8” high x 3″ diameter
Markings: unsigned
Condition: Good Condition, an Antique
For Accuracy: there is general overall age-related wear to the patinated bronze. One has a dent on the backside; both have general surface wear with shallow denting at the mouth and foot, and there is rubbing to the onlay of silver and lacquer. The patina is original and the forms superb – a true matching pair with opposing decoration of the theatrical masked dancers.
