This vase has been in my home since the Showa era. Although there are stains, scratches, and signs of aging that cannot be completely removed, it has a magnificent appearance and is suitable for displaying as is or for arranging flowers. ★Size Total length: approximately 32cm, width (at the widest point): approximately 17cm. Opening diameter: 9cm. Weight: 1060g. Quoted from Google AI ⇩ This is a "Dochu" vase, a traditional craft of Hiroshima Prefecture, with the mark "Shoho Zo" on the bottom. Dochu is made using the tankin (hammering) technique, where a single copper plate is repeatedly hammered into shape. The surface has a distinctive tsuchime (hammered) pattern and is smoked with straw and polished. It has a history of being actively produced in Hiroshima since the early Edo period. This particular mark indicates that it was made by the Shohodo workshop or craftsman.
