Object description :

"Pair Of Usubata Vases, Bronze - Silver - Gold, Japan, Meiji Era (1868-1912)."
Pair of magnificent Japanese "Usubata" - "fine edge" - vases in bronze, with complex decorations made using the technique of inlaying silver, gold, copper and its alloys. From the 17th century, vases of this type were used to make floral arrangements, particularly for special occasions and celebrations. The inlaid decoration depicts, among other things, the kachō-ga motif, i.e. the image of birds and flowers, in this case probably sparrows and cherry blossoms (sakura), which symbolizes beauty subtle and grace and is also a metaphor for the fleeting nature of life. Other decorations show, for example, turtles and ornamental decorations. On the side of the vase are two phoenix-shaped handles (hōō), symbols of peace, abundance and harmony.
