Japanese Iron Vase by the Komai Company of Kyoto

19th century
Description

As part of our Japanese works of art collection we are delighted to offer this exceptional quality Meiji period 1868-1912 damascened iron vase by the highly regarded Komai company, the vase circa 1880 and carrying the full Komai signature is a fine example of the company's earlier nunomezogan work,  the main body of the vase depicts multiple roundels of Japanese scenes, flora, fishes, birds, butterflies and stylised mons between the more traditional grape and vine decoration to the base and lower shoulders, the neck has been superbly decorated with a display of inlaid gilt butterfly and moths between geometric bands, the top of the neck further decorated with grape and vine decoration below a finely executed geometric banded gilt rim, just about as good as you would expect to find an early Meiji period Komai vase of this type.

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.
