Japanese Bronze Gourd Shaped Vase by Tsunetaro Futagami with Stand Signed BV695

This is a Japanese bronze vase crafted in an elegant gourd shape, showcasing the refined metalwork traditions of Takaoka, a region long known for its bronze craftsmanship.

Tsunetaro Futagami, also known as Mototake, was a respected metal artist whose hammered-surface bronze works are appreciated for their depth of texture and warm patina. The vase features a hand-worked, hammered finish that reflects the artisan’s skill and the aesthetic values rooted in Japanese craftsmanship. The gourd form, or hyotan, has long symbolized good fortune and protection in Japanese culture, making this piece meaningful both as décor and as an art object.

This vase is suitable for home décor, interior display, tokonoma arrangements, or as a collectible work of Japanese bronze art.
