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.

From our collection of Meiji-era metalwork, this stylish Japanese Bronze vase with multi-metal decoration of a flock of Silver Geese with Gold beaks and feet. Shakudo has been used to great effect by the artist to shade and add texture to the wings of the birds. The reverse of the vase is plain monochrome, allowing the birds to shine.
Signed Kano with a seal mark to the underside.
Offered in excellent condition as shown in the photographs. Contact us for further information or to arrange a viewing.

Geese
The geese depicted here are likely to be white fronted geese, a species which due to conservation efforts in the 80’s is now once again common in Japan. Goose meat has long been regarded as a luxury for the imperial classes and aristocracy, the white fronted goose is a popular motif on family crests and paintings and frequently appears in Japanese folklore and poems.
