Yamagata Imono Vase
From mid to late Showa Period (1950s-1980s)
Yamagata Imono is a traditional casting craft from Yamagata Prefecture with a history spanning approximately 900 years
Made of cast bronze (a copper alloy), this vase has a broad plump body that tapers towards the base and features a mottled green-brown patina
Should you own a flower frog, one can also be placed inside to create structural arrangements like in the example photos
Arisan/Workshop mark on the base (unable to decipher due to degradation)
SIZE (Approx.)
DIAMETER 19.0CM (7.5“) X HEIGHT 12.8CM (5.0”)
DIAMETER (of mouth) 7.0cm
WEIGHT (without packaging)
1600 Grams
CONDITION - GOOD
Excellent exterior patina. The interior shows corrosion and scaling consistent with age and historical use. Overall good condition
Note: There is a small, casting spike located just inside the internal rim - please take care when cleaning or reaching inside
HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR BRONZE VASE
To clean after flower arrangements, rinse the interior and wipe the outside dry using a soft cloth
Allow the inside to completely air dry before storing
Never use chemical metal polishes or abrasive cleaners
Avoid aggressive scrubbing of the interior scaling as this oxidation is a natural aspect of the piece's aging
For storage, keep the vessel in a dry environment away from high humidity
Vintage, antique and pre-loved items may show some signs of aging or wear. Please inspect the photos carefully before making your purchase.
Please note colours may vary slightly depending on monitor settings.
