Antique Bronze Usubata Ikebana Japan Leaf and Vine Motif

 This nice old vase was recently acquired at a local auction.

A metal three footed vase with tree limbs or vines bearing windswept leaves with a very pleasing, dark bronze patina.

There are breaks at the center circle's seam but it is still a very study vessel and in no current danger of breaking apart.

Just a lovely old thing I am selling as found and leave any cleaning decisions to the new owner.

Please look at all the photo's and enhance them for the most accurate assessment of the condition.

Thank you for looking.

Victorian Children Sledding Statue Brass and Wood Figurine

Measuring 3 1/2 inches long by almost 3 inches high, this wonderful antique brass figurine depicts true Victorian children sledding. The little girl rides a wooden and brass sled that her brother pushes. Interestingly, the little boy has either the tail of a shirt or a tail , hanging out of the back of his pants. On the front of the sled is a small loop, indicating that these two children were once attached to something else. Very heavy for its size.
