A striking Japanese bronze vase from the 1950s, defined by its bold geometric silhouette and rich, time-worn patina. The hand-crafted form combines sharp architectural lines with a sculptural fullness, accentuated by subtle variations in surface tone—from deep bronze to warm copper hues. The base is inscribed with Chinese characters, adding a further layer of history and significance to the piece. Both a vessel and a sculptural object, it embodies the refined artistry of mid-century Japanese metalwork.
