About the Item

A pair of matching Japanese bronze vases from the 20th century finely cast with dragon figures. A high relief cast decoration of a three-clawed dragon is wrapped around the body of each vase, swimming in an aquatic environment symbolized by curved and spiraling etchings and a swimming turtle. The numerous etched anatomical details such as the mane and scales of the mythical beasts only add to the striking effect of these extraordinary pieces. Considered as an auspicious water deity in Japan embodying wisdom and strength, the dragons face each other when both vases are paired. The high and large neck with a slightly flared rim is adorned with a frieze of Chinese knots while the bottom of each vase is stamped with the place of production, Kyoto, Japan. This pair of Japanese bronze vases from the 20th century, with their finely cast and impressively protruding dragon figures, would bring an exquisite oriental accent to any home.
