Pair of Antique Japanese Quality Meiji Bronze Vases

1900 - 1920
Description

An exquisite pair of Japanese Meiji-period bronze vases beautifully cast and finely detailed. Each vase displays an elegant baluster silhouette enriched with crisply modelled foliate relief panels and adorned with sculptural mythological beast handles—classic hallmarks of refined Meiji craftsmanship.

The bronzes retain a superb, even patination with subtle tonal variations that enhance the depth of the casting. The flared rims with textured borders add further sophistication making these compact vases exceptionally decorative despite their modest scale. A distinguished and well-matched pair, ideal for elevated cabinet display or as refined accent pieces within a curated interior.

Very good condition. Beautiful patina with gentle, expected surface wear commensurate with age.

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 (18681912) metalwork is recognised for exceptional cast bronze craft, detailed hand-chased ornamentation, and naturalistic motifs such as fauna, flora, and mythological creatures.

These pieces were typically produced using lost-wax cast bronze techniques, followed by hand-tooling and chemical patination processes to create rich brown and dark tonal finishes.

Authentic items display sharp hand-chased surface details, balanced structural weight, natural surface wear consistent with age, and occasionally maker marks on the base.

Positioning a pair of dark bronze vases on a fireplace mantelpiece, sideboard, or within a bookshelf adds historical texture and visual weight to contemporary spaces.

Dust regularly with a soft dry cloth and avoid chemical polished solvents or water, which can strip the original aged patina.
