19th century
Description

A large fine quality late 19th century (circa 1890) Japanese Meiji period bronze vase.

This large bronze vase consists of a flared rim to the top with geometric design to the edge with elephant head decoration.

This leads down to fine quality relief decoration consisting of landscape scenes of birds, trees, floral and foliate chasing with superbly cast eagle and a dragon to one side with landscape scenes with cranes to the other side and stylised elephant handles to either side.

This leads down to further floral and foliate decoration with superb dragon decoration and geometric designs below.

This vase is in good condition for age with small imperfection to rim, is of stable construction and can go straight into a home.

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.

FAQs

Meiji period metalwork refers to bronze, iron, and precious metal objects produced in Japan between 1868 and 1912. Following the decline of samurai sword production, artisans adapted traditional techniques to create ornate decorative export wares for Western markets.

These pieces were typically crafted using lost-wax casting methods combined with hand chasing and engraving. Alloys of copper, zinc, lead, and tin were finished with multi-layered chemical patination to achieve varied tone and surface luster.

Authentic items feature high-relief casting, crisp hand-chased details, substantial weight, and complex patination. Many examples bear cast or carved artisan signatures, seal marks, or workshop emblems on the underside base.

A substantial bronze vase serves as a focal point when placed on a sideboard, within a fireplace alcove, or at the centre of a foyer console table. The dark patinated metal complements natural wood tones, stone surfaces, and minimalist design schemes.

Dust the surface regularly with a dry, soft lint-free cloth or gentle brush. Avoid chemical cleaners, water, or abrasive polishes that strip the original patina; a light application of neutral microcrystalline wax can be used to preserve the finish.
