Hard to find Japanese Art Deco bird vase c 1930s and in excellent condition comes to you by way of a Houston, Texas estate collection of Art Deco furnishings and decorative objects. We really like the lava-like texture and shape of this vase, and of course black has always been a rarer and desirable color for collectors. The bird, branches, and leaves are colorful and raised to provide added realism and attention to hand craftsmanship, and they really form a nice burst of color and texture rising from the black background. Note the detail in the bird depiction, and the closeup of the unique volcanic glaze used during this period primarily in Asia. It's also kind of fun that the artist chose the colors of Autumn leaves of red and yellow rather than the far more typical green. The vase has an elegant shape and measures approximately 10.5" high and 5.75" in diameter at the widest point and is marked on the bottom "Made in Japan".
