An elegant dark-bronze vase of flared form modeled with scalloped rim,
foliate base and brilliantly reticulated band of kiku and foliage around its
center. A beautifully sculpt dragon mounted to this band clasps a glass tama
in its talons. Worked in high relief with meticulously carved details, the
dragon
is joined by raised, turbulent waves rendered close by the tail. (The tama
is the tide-controlling
jewel of the sea). This bronze okimono is in excellent condition with no

Here is a silver okimono wonderfully sculpted in fluid form as a giant wave with a rare smoked rock crystal globe, the latter symbolizing tama (a tide-controlling jewel of the sea). In Japanese art, the tama
is associated as one of the attributes of Ryugin, the Dragon King of
the Sea, while the thrashing wave relates to Japan's affinity to the ocean and sea life.
This lovely silver sculpture is in excellent condition, with no problems.

A marvelous tall-necked bronze vase of lobed form. 19th century Japanese metalworkers are greatly renowned for their advances in metalurgy and the development of new, sophisticated alloys. On this vase, the artist created a copper-splashed patination on the bronze surface without inlays or carving techniques. The artist achieved a wondrous effect through the uncanny use of the metal, relying on the beauty of its traditional and very Japanese form. Signature on the base by Seikoku. This vase is i ...click for details

This is a striking bronze vase of flattened form and flared neck on self stand. Its two panels illustrate scenes-from-nature in high relief showing the superb chiseling and use of metals that define the best of Meiji metalwork. On one, a long-tailed bird perches upon a flowering spray of leaves and buds; on the other, a kingfisher eyes a small frog from his perch on a lotus leaf. The artist creates magnificent sprays of leaves, flowers and berries at the neck, front and back. The meticulous use ...click for details

Here is a spectacular okimono of a pair of bronze rabbits, one recumbent, the other, seated.
