The Meiji period spans from 1868 to 1912 in Japan, characterised by an opening to Western trade and a flourishing of master metalwork, particularly lost-wax cast bronzes featuring intricate relief decoration.

These pieces were typically crafted using traditional lost-wax casting methods with copper-alloy bronze, often finished with chemical patination and hand-chased surface details.

Authentic pieces often exhibit heavy weight, natural patination with depth, crisp relief work without modern casting seams, and sometimes maker signatures or foundry marks on the base.

An antique bronze vessel works effectively as a floor-standing plant holder or a focal point on a heavy wooden surface, contrasting against neutral walls and modern minimalist furniture.

Bronze should be dusted gently with a soft dry cloth; avoid chemical polishes or abrasive cleaners which can strip away the historical patina.
