Description
Japan, 20th century, bronze vase of baluster form, flanked by zoomorphic handles with attached rings, applied with abstract decoration, embossed with the gilt imperial Chrysanthemum seal of Emperor Hirohito to one side, Japanese character stamped on base, (240mm high). Extremely fine and rare.
This type of bronze with the Emperor's crest (Mon) indicates that the maker enjoyed imperial patronage and the piece was probably given by the Emperor personally.
