This richly gilded copper ikebana vase in the form of a basket, features a twisted metal handle, scalloped rim, and a profusely textured surface. On the front side, a three-dimensional branch with dried plums, a large beetle, and a fly are delicately applied. The back has a textured surface insinuating a beehive and an applied bee. The graceful folds of its body skillfully deceive the eye, transforming a rigid material like metal into the semblance of a soft one, such as cloth or leather.
This unique creation exemplifies the fusion of Japanese art and Art Nouveau, as a result of the profound impact of traditional Japanese art forms on Western artists. The intricate patterns, flowing lines, and nature-inspired motifs in this basket reflects the harmonious blend of both artistic traditions.
Ideal for display at eye level on an etagere shelf or on a console table for optimal appreciation, this vase is a captivating addition to any space. Its remarkable design makes it a perfect gift for those who admire the beauty of both Art Nouveau and Japanese aesthetics. The piece is signed with a small circular emblem on the inside. In very good condition with surface scratches to interior, light gilt wear and minor imperfections as shown.
Measurements: 10 1/4" high including handle by 8" diameter base approximately.
