Japanese vintage bronze flower vase Japanese furniture in traditional temple style Japanese garden design with Kanji sign H10.6in/H27cm.

A vase of this shape is called a Usu-bata薄端. One of the metal vases introduced from China in the Muromachi period (1336-1573). The body of the vase has a wide, shallow upper plate, and the center opening can be removed. It is used in the Ikenobo and Koryu schools of ikebana.
A Japanese garden and Japanese architecture are embossed on the front of the body. It is inscribed at the bottom with a signature in kanji characters, 秀山Shuzan.
When actually arranging flowers, water is filled to the top of the hole and not into the dish-like part.
When decorated with large branches, it looks very cool and gorgeous. In Japan, this vase is used in temples and aristocratic ceremonies.
