This appears to be a vintage or antique Japanese bronze/copper alloy vase with dragon-shaped handles and an ornate, relief-carved base. Vases of this style were popular during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, particularly the Japanese Meiji era (1868-1912) and later periods, often made for export.
Key Characteristics
Material: The metal appears to be a bronze or copper alloy, which develops a rich patina over time.
Design: It features a flared neck and a bulbous base. The handles are cast in the form of stylized dragons or mythical beasts. The lower portion of the body is encircled with a band of intricate, raised relief carvings, which often depict traditional East Asian motifs like taotie masks or dragons.
Style: The style is heavily influenced by archaic Chinese ritual bronzes (gu or zun vessels), which often had similar elaborate designs and handles.
Origin: The style and construction strongly suggest a Japanese origin.
