Japanese Meiji Period Bronze Usubata Vessel for Ikebana

Japanese bronze two-section tripod usubata used in ikebana flower arranging. This traditional form usubata, crafted from heavy bronze, has three legs topped with ogre heads and two decorative scrolled handles at the sides of the body. Meiji period (early 20th century). The usubata stands 9 ¼” high and the removable top section measures 10 5/8” diameter. Very good overall condition with good patina and signs of use evident. This piece is from an old Tucson, Arizona estate.
