Antique Japanese Bamboo Vase w/ Maki-e design of Sagi

Crested-ibis huddle among dried grasses in the frigid waters of a winter river, a scene common throughout the long Japanese winter, depicted in lacquer on the raw polished surface of this bamboo flower vessel dating from the later Meiji to Taisho period. All exposed areas of the vase, top, bottom and inside the basin, are perfectly lacquered black. The birds are performed with gold and silver over black and red lacquer, worn to a very attractive gradient of color. The vase is 13-1/2 inches (34 cm) tall and in excellent condition, enclosed in a period kiri-wood storage box.
