From our collection of Japanese, late 19th Century (Meiji-era) fine art and antiques, this charming Bronze pear-shaped vase depicting a bundle of rice grass. The artist has used the Mitsuro Hikime (lost wax) technique to produce crisp lines to replicate the organic nature of the blades of grass. A family of small birds are feasting on the harvest.
Offered in very good condition as indicated in the photographs, please don’t hesitate to contact us if you would like any further information or images or if you would like to arrange a viewing.

Mitsuro Hikime
Mitsuro Hikime is an ancient Japanese art form used to create jewellery and sculpture. The process involves warming and then repeatedly pulling, folding and stretching organic wax to create intricate textures and patterns. It is then shaped by hand to form unique striations before being cast into metal.
