Description of the work

A patinated bronze vase of globular form with a cylindrical neck, decorated in relief with grapevines and numerous insects, signed Okazaki Sessei (1854–1921).

The sinuous branches intertwine around the vase, accompanied by large finely chiseled leaves and insects rendered with remarkable naturalistic precision, including a cricket, a praying mantis, a dragonfly, a spider, and a butterfly.

The quality of the workmanship is evident in the detailed rendering of the leaf veins and the minute surfaces of the insects.

The neck and base are enriched with engraved decorative borders featuring archaic motifs.

Signed “Sessei” (Okazaki Sessei, 1854–1921) beneath the base within a rectangular reserve.
