Antique Mimikuchi "Flying Handles" with Spiral Design Japanese Bronze Vase

This antique Japanese bronze vase features the distinctive "flying handles" style known as mimikuchi, with handles that spiral downward into a graceful ridge design. The mouth is defined by pointed flutes along its centered rim, and the piece shows the beautiful patina that comes with age, including some discoloration and a sealed bottom. At 5 inches high and 6 inches across the handles, it's a compact sculptural accent for a shelf or display.
