Japanese Antique Pair of Bronze Vases with Copper and Gold Fish

A finely crafted pair of Japanese bronze vases dating to the Taisho period (1912–1926), displaying a refined balance of sculptural form and mixed-metal artistry. Each vase features a graceful six-sided faceted body that rises from a rounded base to a flared hexagonal rim. The bronze bodies are adorned with swimming goldfish executed in high-relief copper, each carefully chased to reveal lifelike scales and flowing fins. Delicate gold highlights accent the fish, adding a subtle shimmer and emphasizing the detailed craftsmanship. The rims of the vases are edged with silver, providing a visual contrast to the rich bronze patina. Age: Taisho Period (1912-1926) Dimensions: 15″ high x 8″ wide
