Exquisite Japanese Mixed Metal Vase by Ozeki Company (1of 2)

19th century
Description

As part of our Japanese works of art collection we are delighted to offer this very fine quality Meiji Period (1868-1912) mixed metal vase bearing the seal of arguably the most succesful retailer of the late 19th century, that of the Ozeki company, headed up by Ozeki Yahei and his son Sadajiro. This simply decorated diminutive jewel of a vase is formed from solid shibuichi cleverly merged with silver to give the impression of snow melting down the body, the cherry blossoms painstakingly manufactured from mixed alloys including gold, silver and shibuichi. This remarkably heavy little vase comes complete within its original hardwood tomobako as well as its original silk protective sleeve and finely carved hardwood display stand. The signature on the side of the vase reads Mitsutoshi Koku (carved by Mitsutoshi ), the underside of the vase is stamped with the highly revered Ozeki seal as well as a commemorative seal, presumably intended as a very opulent gift, even at that time.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.
