Love Japanese Style Like We

A pair of quite large and heavy vintage Buddhist altar vases. In Buddhism flowers are a symbol of impermanence and also represent the blooming of one’s growth to enlightenment.

The brass vases are a beautiful shape with etchings of animals, birds, flowers and Buddhist symbols, engraved deeply into the metal. Three dimensional raised bamboo-like accents give the vase a kind of Corinthian appearance. The maker’s seal appears on the base.

The vases have signs of use and have darkened to a rich, deeper gold tone. There are tarnish marks on the inside of the mouth of the vases and corrosion of the brass inside. We have tested the vases and leakage is not a problem.

They are a great size for displaying some pretty seasonal flowers and look beautiful with other gold decor.

- one vase measures around 14.5 cm (5.7”) tall x 11.5 cm (4.5”) in diameter at widest point.
- total weight 1,700

OFFERINGS AT THE BUDDHIST ALTAR
The lighting of a candle represents the light of wisdom illuminating the darkness of ignorance. The burning of incense represents the fragrant scent of morality. The smoke of incense sticks, rising to the heavens, connects the earthly world to the spiritual world. Flowers teach the concept of impermanence and also express the desire for the ‘mind’s flowers’ to bloom in the springtime of enlightenment. Food, fruit, water and sake represent the nectar of Dharma and the wish to achieve it.
