    Description

    Signed Meiji Japanese Bronze Mixed Metal Box & Lid Carp Koi Factory Artist Marks
    .
    In the style of Nogawa and/or Shakudo with unidentified circular factory seal on the base and an elaborate artist's mark applied as shown in our gallery in Frames #5 and #6.  A fine example of bronze work with a masterful sculpture using the motif of the koi fish.  We note a small label affixed to the underside of the lid, likely a control number for inventory.
    Condition:
    Excellent antique condition.  No dents or dings.  Wear from honest use, isolated instances of green patina.
    We took photos in natural light, in both shade and sun.
