£POA - What does POA mean?
Product Code: KPME01
Simply put, POA stands for “Price on Application”.
With some of our pieces, we prefer not to openly publish our asking price. We absolutely welcome visitors to the website to contact us to enquire about the cost of such pieces.
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.

This pair of multi-metal vases show Nocturnal scenes with Owls and Hawks resting on the branches of an acer tree in front of a Full Moon.
Signed with the Nogawa mark.
Hawk
The hawk is traditionally a symbol of nobility and wealth, due to the expense of training and caring for the birds.
Moon
The moon is the subject of much mythology in Japan, it’s depiction can symbolize national well-being (From Shinto beliefs) or inner enlightenment (Buddhist beliefs)
Acer
Acer or Japanese maple is a symbol of strength and endurance, it is often used in the art of Bonsai and it is traditional to go to view the changing colours of the leaves in Autumn, much like the cherry blossom is viewed in the spring.
Owl
In Japan the owl is a symbol of good fortune and luck.
Nogawa
The Nogawa factory and workshops were active in the Meiji Period (1868-1912) through to the early 20th century. They created many works to appeal to Western tastes and used many different metal-ware techniques.
