| Rising from a gently sloping crest of Shibuichi, stylized pines in dark Shikin-Shakudo are silhouetted against the jungin silver skyline of this elegant art-nouveau influenced vase signed in a gold cartouche on the base Gikan. It is only upon removing the inner silver sleeve that we realize this mirror smooth piece has been hammer-formed, every tap the artist performed visible within. The vase is just over 6 inches (15.5 cm) tall, 6 inches (16 cm) diameter. There is a shallow pinhead sized ding in the backside, and one very minor flattening (see close-up photo, areas circled), otherwise is in fine condition. | |||||||||||
