H:17cm Weight:697g Former Japanese Ikebana Master Family Collection. A monumental solid pure gold flower vase (hanairi) for Japanese ikebana flower arrangement, hand-turned and crafted by master metal artist Zongdao, a rare example of high-value antique East Asian precious metal decorative art.
The vessel follows the elegant pear-shaped yuhuchun silhouette, with a rounded plump belly tapering to a small flat foot. The elongated neck is meticulously hand-lathed with uniform concentric horizontal ribbed grooves, forming rhythmic layered light and shadow across the gold surface, contrasting beautifully with the plain unadorned smooth belly that retains the subtle matte natural texture of gold.
