Lot Essay

Sato Kazuhide became an independent metal artist in 1876, producing work for the Imperial Household and international expositions, including the Paris Exposition of 1900. Also from Edo, he apprenticed under the metal masters Iwamoto Ikkan VII and Ozaki Kazuyoshi.
This type of vases with chrysanthemum crests of the Imperial Household were often presented from the Emperor or Imperial Household as an Imperial Gift during the Meiji period.
