From our collection of Oriental Art, this fine Japanese bronze vase with elegant subtle decoration of a flock of red crowned cranes flying over a woodland landscape.
This decoration is a fantastic example of classical Japanese restraint in art. Less is more.
The body of the vase is Bronze, with a clever variation in patination used to create the subtle image of a landscape reminiscent of a watercolour painting.The trees silhouetted against a dark sky, the trunks are simply but effectively depicted with another inlaid shade of bronze. The silver patinated cranes add movement and a focus for the image. A flash of brightness allowing the background to shine.
Offered in excellent condition. Please contact us for further images, more information or to arrange a viewing in person.

The red crowned crane is currently endangered due to loss if it’s wetland habitat with less then 2000 individuals in the wild, about 950 of these being in Japan.
