Description: #200-bronzepr This listing is for a Lot of (2) rare and very unusual ornamental Japanese cast bronze vases with polychrome enamel (glass) ornament of geometric patterns as well as depictions of animals (or animal deities). On each face of the large vase, a deer appears in an animated pose. On the smaller vase a monkey with a tropical tree appears, and separately an owl appears. Both are stamped: MADE IN JAPAN. See photos of hallmark. It was recently pointed-out to me these are not marked "made in occupied Japan". Please review the photos carefully for the available details. These originated as a gift to a late industrialist family member during a visit from a Japan customer. The family disagrees on the date when these items were acquired. The date range is somewhere from 1935 to 1952. We have no documents or other details on their pedigree. Because of this uncertainty, it is important for you to depend on your own research, scholarship, and experience when considering this purchase. Approximate dimensions and weight: The round vase is 9-1/4" tall x 6" wide. The larger, more angular vase is 9-1/2" tall x 8" wide. These total 9 pounds before our very sturdy packaging. The images shown are flash photos as these look best in well-lit settings.Display these just as they are, use for floral arrangements, or adapt them for lamps. (please note, these have not been drilled for lamp wiring). CONDITION: Excellent antiques with original patina. Shipment to locations in the Lower 48 United States only. (we cannot promise, but possibly we'll consider changing this shipping restriction under certain conditions).
