An Exquisite Japanese Silver Mounted Iron Tanuki Vase

19th century
Description

As part of our Japanese works of art collection we are delighted to offer this simple yet quite magical silver mounted iron vase from the great Meiji Period , the artist has captured a Tanuki (often called a Racoon dog) sat amidst foliage, the Tanuki carved in high relief amongst onlaid silver and gold grasses and flora, the Tanuki has been significant in Japanese folklore since ancient times and is reputed to be mischievous and jolly, a master of disguise , but somewhat gullible and absentminded. It is also a common theme in Japanese art, especially statuary and paintings , the vase is made from Iron and is solid silver mounted to the base and neck, signed in a carved signature with gold seal by an artist known as Hisayuki (alternative pronunciation of the name Toshiyuki , and also Kazuyuki) a superb iron vase in traditional Japanese style and now a scarce commodity in this mixed media .

Provenance: This vase was amongst a small but high quality group of Japanese items bequeathed to a UK boarding school in the early 20th century by a former pupil , remarkably the goods remained in the headmasters office for many decades until 2014 when the current committee decided to sell the items to fund the further education of a group of female pupils, please see other items from that collection in the exclusive members area at www.steveslyjapaneseart.com in coming weeks.

The condition is quite superb !!

Approximate sizes:

Height: 9" 23 cm

Diameter: 3.5" 9 cm

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.
