With its height of 43 cm and weight of 2.9 kg, this is not a small decorative vase, but a sturdy and characterful object with real presence.\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n\nA broad champlevé band runs around the body, featuring colorful mythical creatures, floral tendrils, and geometric background patterns. The blue, red, green, white, and gold-colored accents are recessed into the bronze, giving the vase a rich, almost mysterious atmosphere. It is precisely the combination of dark patina and weathered enamel that makes the piece interesting: it does not look new or smooth, but rather weathered, layered, and strongly decorative.\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n\nThe shape and decoration clearly align with the Japanese Meiji style, with influences from older East Asian bronze art. The ring handles on the neck, the archaic band motifs, and the symmetrical structure allude to ritual bronze vases, while the use of color and the decorative animal band are typical of Japanese export art from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nWithin East Asian imagery, the mythical creatures on the vase represent strength, protection, prosperity, and harmony. As a result, this is not only a decorative vase but also an object with symbolic significance. Beautiful as a standalone piece on a pedestal, sideboard, or low cabinet, especially in an interior featuring Asian art, wabi-sabi elements, dark woods, or calm natural materials.\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n\nThe vase is in beautiful antique condition with visible signs of age, patina, light wear, and minor irregularities in the enamel consistent with age and use. The underside and interior display an honest, dark finish with natural aging. It is precisely this that makes the piece stronger: not a perfect new reproduction appearance, but a vase with character, depth, and history. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#8a6d3b; font-size:20px; margin-top:35px; margin-bottom:15px; font-weight:normal;\"\u003e\nProduct details\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%; border-collapse:collapse; font-size:15px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee; width:30%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eObject\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eLarge Japanese champlevé vase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePresentation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eMythical creatures, floral motifs and archaic decoration\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eJapan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePeriod\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eLate 19th to early 20th century \/ Meiji style\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003ePatinated bronze with champlevé enamel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eH 43 x W 28.5 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003e2.9 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eFeatured with ring lugs, colorful enamel band, and dark patinated bronze texture\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eGood old condition with patina, light wear, minor signs of age, and natural weathering consistent with age and use.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"1stbuddha","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57457374724427,"sku":"603","price":355.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1012\/6170\/5547\/files\/japanse-bronzen-champleve-vaas-fabeldieren-emaille.jpg?v=1779956698","url":"https:\/\/1stbuddha.com\/products\/japanese-bronze-champleve-vase-mythical-creatures-ring-ears-43-cm","provider":"1stbuddha","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
