Thank you for viewing. This is a cast copper vase made using "Takaoka Copperware," a traditional craft of Takaoka City, Toyama Prefecture. The surface, with its weighty reddish-brown color, is adorned with the Imperial symbol, the "Chrysanthemum Crest," in gold, giving it an elegant and formal appearance. This item was presented as a commemorative gift for a recipient of an Imperial decoration. The inside of the lid of the original box is inscribed with "Commemorative of Imperial Decoration Recipient, Kogoro Okumura." Although the detailed circumstances are unknown, it suggests that this was a gift of historical significance. Furthermore, the vase's bottom is inscribed with the mark "Minegumo." This is not the name of the artist, but rather a work mark or pseudonym used in Takaoka Copperware, indicating a certain level of quality and style. 【Product Details】 ◆ Product Name: Cast Copper Vase (Takaoka Copperware) ◆ Mark: Minegumo ◆ Size: Height approx. 18cm / Diameter approx. 10.5cm ◆ Pattern: Chrysanthemum Crest ◆ Condition: New, Unused (Long-term storage) ◆ Accessories: Original box included (with inscription and age-related stains) 【Additional Information】 ⚫︎ There may be slight changes in texture due to long-term storage. ⚫︎ The wooden box has stains and spots due to aging.
