Japanese Showa Period Bronze Vase with Verdigris Patina – With Signed Box

This is a finely crafted Japanese bronze vase from the Showa period, featuring a beautiful verdigris (rokushō) patina. The deep green coloration, formed naturally through oxidation, enhances the traditional form and material, offering a rich, aged character full of depth and dignity.

The vase has a classic pear-shaped silhouette, with a narrow mouth and rounded shoulders—simple yet gracefully proportioned.

The surface features a natural blend of turquoise green and reddish-brown tones, creating a striking contrast that conveys both serenity and strength. It comes with its original wooden storage box (tomobako), inscribed with the artist’s signature and calligraphy, further enhancing the piece’s authenticity and value.

This work embodies the refined aesthetics of Japanese metal craftsmanship and is highly recommended for collectors of Japanese art, or as a sophisticated accent piece for interior décor.
