19th Century Japanese Imari Vases with Bronze Work and Unique Bronze Bases

This gorgeous pair of 19th century Japanese Imari vases are beautifully hand-painted in the classic Imari colors of blue, terra cotta, gold and white. The pair features a Foo dog handle on each top, and detailed bronze work throughout. Note the patterned bronze attaching the top to the base, the ring handle on each side of each vase, and the unique bronze footed bases, which are unusually cast in the shape of a classic carved rose wood base.
