Japanese Bronze Vase, Meiji Period, Circa 1900 15cm High

1900 - 1920
Description

Japanese Bronze Vase, Meiji Period, Circa 1900

A finely cast Japanese bronze vase dating from the Meiji period, circa 1900. Of elegant baluster form with a narrow, gently flared neck, the vase is decorated in high relief with flowering foliage and a bird in flight, all executed with crisp detail.

The surface displays an attractive green and russet patina, while the chrysanthemum blooms retain their original gilt finish, providing a striking contrast against the dark bronze. The stems and selected leaves are further enhanced with finely hand-engraved details cut into the surface, demonstrating the high level of craftsmanship characteristic of the period.

The vase is in very good condition, free from dents, repairs, or losses.

Dealers Notes

Robert Belcher Antiques was established in 1984 and is a high-quality retailer of interesting, rare antiques and decorative objects. After forty years of shop keeping and maintaining beautiful showrooms, which have been regularly open six days a week, Robert and Wendy have now taken a slightly different approach to their business. Having sold their retail premises, the antique business is now fully online. The picture framing service has ceased to operate because of moving online.

You can contact Robert and Wendy by email or telephone to discuss items from their extensive catalogue of attractive pieces and make purchases. Customers can rest assured that the long-established dealership is continuing to run in an exceedingly professional way, selling genuine and high-quality items which are guaranteed to please the most discerning collector, decorator or homeowner.

All items will be personally hand packaged to a high standard. Small items are extensively wrapped using the best materials and are often double boxed. Items are then shipped with DHL or Royal Mail fully insured and often with next day delivery. Larger items would be personally delivered or sent with a specialist antique delivery firm, or for outside the U.K, a professional shipping company.

Please enjoy viewing their collection of rare and interesting pieces and have the assurance that Robert and Wendy will do their utmost to make sure your experience is exceptional, as has been recognised by many customers who have bought with confidence regularly over the years.

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.

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

Metalwork from Japans Meiji era (18681912) is characterised by detailed relief carving, intricate inlay techniques, and high-quality patinated bronze alloys combining copper, gold, and silver tones.

Craftsmen used patinated bronze bases often decorated with soft metal alloys alongside gold and copper inlays to create multi-coloured surface motifs.

Authentic pieces display precise hand-carved relief, integrated multi-metal inlay work, smooth dark patination, and occasionally cast maker seals on the underside.

Position small metal decorative vessels individually on floating shelves, mantlepieces, or side tables alongside contemporary books and ceramic accents to add visual texture.

Dust gently using a soft, dry microfibre cloth or soft brush, avoiding moisture, polish, or harsh chemicals that could damage the original surface patina.
