I would like to apologize to all, we have been working on the Tohoku relief effort and have not been focused 100 percent on web sales.
Many emails and packages have been delayed, we are doing our best to manage both.
Your patience and understanding through the crisis have been sincerely appreciated.

A large flaring bronze dating from the first half of the Meiji period with key frets top and bottom and a band of sculpted waves crashing about rocks in which turtles play. On the base is a circular dragon dial in relief. The vessel is 15 inches (38 cm) tall, 9-1/2 inches (24.5 cm) diameter at the top, and in fine condition. There is a fan shaped inset in the rim, possible covering the stem where the bronze was poured into the mold.
Fine detail and an excellent cast.
