This late 19th-century Meiji Era (1868-1912) Japanese bronze baluster vase with a flared neck, first hand-cast then later hand chiseled to give further intricate detail. The cylindrical form highlights the dramatic hunting scene of a snake hunting a frog.
In Japanese culture, the frog symbolizes good luck and perseverance, while the snake represents wisdom or danger, together embodying the balance of nature and the dynamic interplay between predator and prey. The vase artfully balances refined simplicity with traditional natural motifs.
Signature Hand etched on the bottom.
