Description
This is a vintage Japanese copper flower vase (kabin). Due to its highly unusual shape, it may have originally been created as a suibyo (water jug) placed next to a Buddhist statue, such as Fudo Myoo.
The vase features a unique silhouette with a wide, conical base that tapers into a bulbous midsection before extending into a straight, narrow neck. The surface is finished with a dark, mottled green and brown patina. A maker's mark is engraved on the bottom. The piece is likely cast copper from the Takaoka or Yamagata regions, though the specific artist is unidentified.
