This striking vintage decorative vase is crafted from turned wood and finished in a deep, high-gloss black lacquer, richly decorated with hand-applied maki-e style motifs. The design features elegant angelfish swimming among abstract aquatic plants, rendered in warm metallic copper and gold tones with subtle red accents.
The piece showcases a classic Japanese lacquerware aesthetic, blending organic form with refined surface decoration. The high-shouldered baluster silhouette, combined with the shimmering metallic detailing, creates a dramatic visual presence that works beautifully in both traditional and modern interiors.
Likely produced in Japan during the mid-20th century (circa 1950s–1960s), this vase exemplifies postwar decorative lacquerwork intended for export and interior display. Its relatively light weight confirms its wooden core, distinguishing it from ceramic or porcelain examples.
A refined accent piece ideal for collectors of Asian decorative arts, mid-century interiors, or statement display objects.
Circa 1950s–1960s
Material: Turned wood with black lacquer finish and hand-painted maki-e style metallic decoration.
