{"product_id":"vintage-asian-style-patinated-metal-17274","title":"Vintage Asian Style Patinated Metal Baluster Vase with Bird and Blossom Branch in Relief","description":"\u003cp\u003eA bird swoops down past a flowering branch, wings spread and tail streaming behind it, raised from the dark surface of this vase. The scene wraps around the side like a painting cast in metal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vase is a baluster shape in patinated metal, with a deep brown tone. In high relief, a flowering branch curves across the body, with clusters of blossom, and a long-tailed bird flies just above it, with grasses below. A band of overlapping lappets edges the neck. Pairing birds with flowering branches is one of the oldest themes in Chinese and Japanese art, known as \"bird and flower\" painting. Blossom that opens in late winter, before the leaves, was a symbol of strength and new beginnings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vase is in very good vintage condition, with an even, deep patina. It has been well looked after, and it's ready to be enjoyed again. Use it for a branch of blossom or dried grasses, or let it stand alone on a shelf, a mantelpiece or a side table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVase summary: a patinated metal baluster vase with a bird and flowering branch in high relief and a lappet band at the neck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDETAILS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: Height 25 cm (9.8 in) · Neck diameter 11 cm (4.3 in) — roughly the height of a hardcover novel\u003cbr\u003e\nMaterial: patinated metal\u003cbr\u003e\nStyle-Period: Asian bird and blossom style · late 19th to early 20th century\u003cbr\u003e\nShipping: professionally packed, fully insured, worldwide · we handle the paperwork and pay all import duties · nothing to settle on delivery\u003cbr\u003e\nCondition: very good vintage condition\u003cbr\u003e\nReturns: accepted within 30 days\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maison Jaspers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59733399798105,"sku":"LM-V-416","price":461.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1063\/5388\/5529\/files\/il_fullxfull.8669027233_lvv0.jpg?v=1791280157","url":"https:\/\/maisonjaspers.com\/products\/vintage-asian-style-patinated-metal-17274","provider":"Maison Jaspers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
