We just prefer to have a conversation to allow us to explain the pricing as well as to talk in more detail about the piece in question.
It doesn’t necessarily mean that it is a super expensive piece but it may just be that there is something unique or special that we would like to be able to tell you about in more detail.

A large and impressive Japanese Meiji Period (1868-1912) bronze vase with three dimensional multimetal decoration of three hawks, two perches on a traditional hawk stand the other exploring a jardiniere planted with iris. Three other vases appear in the decoration, one with a wrap around dragon, another in the form of a flower and the last with a classical image of a carp.
Hawk
The hawk is traditionally a symbol of nobility and wealth, due to the expense of training and caring for the birds.
Takagari
Takagari is the Japanese word for falconry, as in the West, it was a status sport reserved for wealthy nobles that could afford to buy and house the expensive birds.
It was popular among Samurai, the Goshawk and Hawk were popular birds with the Eagle reserved for very high status individuals, it is not unusual to see favourite birds depicted in artworks of the time.
