This simple and elegant Japanese hand hammered copper vase in basket form with a double entwined relief work handle is an unusual representation in Art Deco style of a “hanakago” or bamboo flower basket. Early 20th century. The four sides flow in a softly rounded shape from a square base and culminate in a square lip. Each copper strip of the double handle has been pressed repeatedly with little rivet-like bumps and then twisted together, giving it a wonderful tactile appeal in addition to its striking appearance. Although apparently simple in its overall design and lines, it is obvious that an enormous amount of metalwork skill went into creating this basket . CONDITION is excellent; rich original patina. DIMENSIONS: 15 ¼” (38.8 cm) high, 6 1/8” (15.6 cm) maximum width and depth. |
