Bronze Ribbed Lotus Vase Signed Yoshida, Kyoto Japan, Meiji Period

This bronze vase takes a classic baluster silhouette, its lower body worked in a ribbed, lotus petal design above a flared foot. The piece bears the signature of Yoshida, a bronze artisan working in Kyoto during the Meiji period, and carries the warm, dark patina typical of Japanese bronze work from this era. A refined, well proportioned piece for a shelf or console.
