Japanese Usubata Cart Style Bronze Ikebana Flower Vase 12"

This is a Japanese bronze Usubata (Ikebana flower vase). This vase is used in a tokonoma (alcove in a traditional Japanese home) to display flowers. It is made of a heavy bronze and has a thick cast design of a cart with a woven basket moved by two small children with a removable top filled with water for flowers.

It has six point footing. The large top part easily separates from the lower vase. Typically the top is taken to a place where flowers are arranged and then taken to the tokonoma where the base awaits.

A beautiful way to display any kind of flower arrangement a great stand alone piece of bronze artwork
