Art Nouveau Oxblood Vase

This is a vase decorated with the famous oxblood glaze made in Japan around 1900. One sees the oxblood vases once in a while in porcelain but I have not seen one with the floral metal mounts that this example has. I think the metal mounts are copper that was gilded due to the color in some areas or bronze/brass that has oxidized a little. Not sure on the metal but am sure this is a superb Art Nouveau piece :) The vase is in great condition with just the mentioned color change in the metal mounts. No chips, etc.! It is 4.5 inches tall and 3 inches in diameter. The vase is marked underneath as shown. Not knowing a whole lot about this kind of thing I cannot say exactly who made it but certainly a top quality maker in the Meiji Period - if someone knows more an email is always appreciated! Please email me for more information or other pictures.

Price is $599
