| A large Art Deco Bronze Vase enclosed in the original wooden box signed Koshun (Hiramatasu Hiroharu 1896-1971) and dating from the 1930s. The vase has a deep red, slightly mottled patina typical of the era. The body rises from a clear and simple shape to ringed neck, with sculpted handles that complete the quintessential Deco style. Signed on the base, it is 12 inches (30 cm) tall and in excellent condition. Born in Nagano, Hiramatsu Koshun was one of the top rated bronze artists of the Showa period. He learned the art of metalwork under Katsura Koshun (Mitsuharu) and Umino Kiyoshi. His work was represented at the Nitten where he received the Hokuto-sho prize among many others and was bequeathed to the Nitten and purchased by Japanese governmental ministries for gifts to dignitaries. | |||||||||||
