This champleve jar/vase came from the estate of a local antiques dealer.
She had been in the business for many years and knew her business. The jar is
made of bronze with deep carving which consists of colorful flowers and may be
a signature. The vase is marked on the bottom with “Made in Japan”, indicating
it was made after the McKinley act of 1890. The detail on this piece is very
good, with the recessed spaces all carved in an intricate pattern. The handles
are stylized griffin heads. The jar is in good condition with as only flaw that
the artist at times has carved too deep, making small holes in the under layer
of the vase.Measurements are: 6” diameter, 8 ½” tall.
