The Story of This Piece:
Embrace the "Zen Style" with this heavy, minimalist pair of bronze alloy vases. Originally part of a Gogusoku (five-piece altar set), these vases were crafted to maintain the dignity and balance of a Zen Buddhist altar.

The intentional "waist" in the middle of the vase isn't just aesthetic; it’s a functional masterstroke that helps keep flower stems perfectly upright, while the flared opening provides a dramatic stage for your floral arrangements. Stripped of all unnecessary ornamentation, the deep, dark brown bronze radiates a quiet strength and sophisticated calm. Whether used for traditional offerings or as a centerpiece in a modern home, these vases bring a century-old philosophy of "less is more" into your living space.

Condition & Character:
Good vintage condition. The bronze has a beautiful aged luster. While there are  surface scratches and faint signs of use consistent with its history, its structural integrity and aesthetic appeal remain impeccable. (Buddha statue not included).
