From our collection of fine metal-ware of the Japanese Meiji-era (1868-1912), this attractive Bronze dish with multi-metal decoration of Gold, Silver, Copper, Shibuichi and Shakudo and depicting a flock of Silver Cranes feeding in shallow waters among large water lilies. A further pair of Cranes fly over-head into artistically rendered clouds. If you look closely, you’ll also find a solitary and presumably fearful Crab on the surface of one of the large leaves.
Offered in fine condition as shown in the photographs. Please contact us for further information or to arrange a viewing.

In Japan, 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, 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 than 2,000 individuals in the wild, about 950 of these being in Japan.
