This is a beautiful antique Japanese bud vase, likely dating to the Meiji period (late 19th to early 20th century). The vase features a slender neck and rounded body with a dark patinated surface, accented by intricate mixed metal inlay.
The decorative motif appears to include floral elements, possibly chrysanthemums, rendered in copper and silver tones. The contrast between the dark base metal and the warm metallic inlays gives the piece a refined, understated elegance typical of Japanese metalwork from this era.
The vase has a narrow opening, making it ideal as a bud vase or as a standalone decorative object. It shows age-appropriate wear, including surface patina and minor signs of use, which add to its antique character.
