拍品描述
AN IMPRESSIVE AND VERY LARGE BRONZE LOTUS-FORM FOUNTAIN WITH A MAJESTIC DRAGON

Japan, 19th century, late Edo period (1615-1868) to early Meiji period (1868-1912)

Skillfully cast as a large, upturned lotus leaf with finely chased veins, supported on a short compressed globular section raised on a lotus-petaled base above a lobed plinth decorated with foliate cartouches enclosing lotus blossoms borne on leafy scrolling vines. A separately cast, ferocious three-clawed dragon clambers over the wavy rim, its mouth open in a menacing roar, the body neatly detailed with overlapping scales and spiky mane.

HEIGHT 70.3 cm (the vessel), 98 cm (incl. dragon)
WEIGHT 57 kg

Condition: Very good condition with minor wear and signs of use. The base with small losses. The dragon with few old repairs and minor losses to spikes.

After the fall of the Tokugawa shogunate and the dissolution of Buddhist temples at the beginning of the Meiji period, many of the large bronze temple fountains like the present lot were largely sold, melted down, or destroyed during earthquakes and wars. Expatriates living in Japan and tourists purchased them to decorate their gardens at home, while others received them as gifts well into the 20th century.
