From our collection of fine Japanese metalware of the reign of Emperor Meiji, (1868-1912) is this attractive Silver Koro of spherical form standing on three cabriole feet.
The central band is decorated with a finely detailed multi-metal wraparound design of Cranes flying through auspicious clouds.
The cloud motif is repeated in the pierced design of the lid which itself is topped with a large, playful Shishi dog with its front left paw slightly raised as it traps a Gold ball.
Each of the feet of the Koro are decorated with Minogame.
Offered in very good condition as shown in the photographs. Please contact us for more information or to arrange a viewing.

Minogame
The Minogame is a mythical Japanese turtle, it’s believed to live up to 10,000 years, and is often seen in the company of the god Jurojin. The ‘tail’ is actually long strands of algae which have formed due to the turtle’s great age.
Red Crowned Crane
In Japan the the red crowned Crane is a much revered bird it is a symbol of strength, good fortune and longevity.
The Crane was thought to live for 1,000 years but in captivity red crowned cranes have been known to live for 75 years making it one of the longest lived birds. 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.
