From Our Recent Japanese Acquisitions

From Japan comes this big beautiful and antique hand cast “full moon” lantern or ikebana vase in a large scale size
complete with a 76″ link chain. The inside socket neatly holds an oil lamp bottle as shown or your favorite flowers. We will include a complimentary bottle of lamp oil shown upon request.

The bronze lantern is finished in an attractive red murashido finish. Red murashido is a desireable and special Japanese finish created with a unique boiling oil technique.

The 76 inch chain is a bonus

This attractive and unusual hanging vase, named Tetsu tsuri Douro, may be used as a lantern holding an oil lamp (photo) , or an Ikebana flower planting arranging vessel or a unique candle holder. Quality craftsmanship.

This is a large 12.5 inch tall bronze lantern planter and is accompanied by a 76″ in length old chain

Heavy quality, beautifully hand finished with a deep rich patina from good age.

An impressive presentation conjuring a wabi sabi (perfection of the imperfection) feeling in this unique transformative design.

And a useful lighting decoration or planter.

A unique choice for a handsome presentation.
