Naka-o Made Buddhist Altar Fittings, Pair of Brass Flower Vases, Phoenix Motif, Ancient Bronze, 10cm, Meiji to Showa Period, Antique Tool, For Buddhist Altars

A pair of antique bronze flower vases for Buddhist altars, crafted by Nakao. The body features embossed phoenix motifs, and the piece is attractive for its antique patina and substantial feel that evokes a sense of history. Though small, they possess a strong presence and can be used not only for Buddhist altars but also as antique furnishings or interior decor, adding a wonderful atmosphere.

With a compact height of approximately 10.2 cm, they are sized to easily fit into modern homes and smaller Buddhist altars.

There are signs of age, including scuffs, discoloration, and dirt. Additionally, one vase has a small hole in its body, likely caused by corrosion over time. While this is the current condition, it does not significantly impede its use.

Please examine the images for the condition and only bid if you understand and accept the nature of antique items.
