Long Description
Hello all,
I have a pair of high relief bronze (I think) vases that upon further research are Japanese from the late 1800s, made in Yoshida workshop in Kyoto.
Please see the pictures.
Natural patina; in some places metal has aged away and there're a few pinholes.
There're marks on the bottoms, appear to be the same or similar. Each vase stands about 9.5" tall.
I would appreciate some guidance as to the value of these vases.
