Description

Antique Japanese Bronze Vase, 1920s, Taisho Era (SKU 25D-156-2)

Taishō-era tsubo-form bronze vase with subtle scrollwork decoration

This compact antique Japanese vase is crafted in heavy bronze with a low, rounded tsubo (storage jar) silhouette that speaks to early 20th-century design sensibilities. The deep, almost black patina is warmed by traces of reddish-brown undertones, giving the surface a quiet depth that only decades of handling and oxidation can produce.

Encircling the shoulder is a band of finely chased karakusa (scroll) motifs, adding a refined decorative accent while keeping the overall aesthetic understated and modern. Ideal as a small ikebana vessel or as a stand-alone sculptural object, this Taisho era bronze vase brings an authentic wabi-sabi presence to a shelf, alcove, or contemporary interior.

  • Origin: Japan
  • Era: Taisho period (circa 1920s)
  • Material: Bronze

A characterful Taisho bronze, perfect for collectors seeking a compact yet quietly striking Japanese vase.

As part of our mission to preserve and share Japanese craftsmanship, we offer antiques that were made not just to be admired, but to be used. These pieces were crafted for everyday life, and we honor their purpose by ensuring they can continue to be enjoyed and lived with today.

We use professional studio lighting to highlight the natural character of the wood. As a result, the tone may appear slightly warmer than under natural daylight.

All vintage and antique items are sold as-is. Each piece may exhibit signs of age, including scratches, wear, or minor imperfections. These are not considered defects but natural evidence of the item’s authenticity and age.
