Subject:Please help identify this Japanese bronze vase
Posted By: Don Tue, Aug 04, 2015 IP: 106.68.160.167
I have two identical vases like that pictured. They have been handed down through at least three generations of family, but I have no idea of their origin, identity, or value. I believe they are brass and coated black and stand 14 3/8" (36cm) tall. The only identifying marks I have found are embossed into the base (and pictured).
I think the Japanese characters translate to (top to bottom) 'light' and 'one', so maybe variants of those words form the name of the company...?
Any help determining their age, origin, and value would be very much appreciated.
