Meiji Period (1868-1912) Bronze Japanese Vase With Raised Relief Design. Signed.

An elegant Japanese bronze vase. Late 19th / early 20th century. Meiji period.

Ovoid in shape with a plum patina, the vase is decorated in raised relief on the body, with perched and fluttering birds. 

Signed to the base : ('Dai Nippon Kyoto Yoshida zo'), the mark of the Nomura workshop in Kyoto.

Note : there is a small hole near the base of the vase (intentional, not incidental) which suggests it was used as a lamp base at some point.  The overall condition is very good with excellent patina and minimal wear.
