Story:
|
I am not an avid
collector. However, I do have a few items with the See No Evil monkeys. My
most recent acquisition, a vase, is the one most interesting to me. It is
embossed with the three monkeys and a bud (lotus?). I sense that it may be
very old. As far as I can see, it has no mark. The bottom is copper and the
rest is either brass or bronze (looks blackish inside) The No Evil vase appears to me to be Asian. It is
6 (six) inches high, 8 (eight) inches around at the mouth and
around the rim of the foot. It is 16 (sixteen) inches around at the widest
point. It weighs 24 (twenty-four) oz. There are three notches at equal
spaces on the foot of the vase. I don't recognize any other marks, perhaps
one small mark on the bottom and some scratches. It appears to be brass or
bronze on the outside and copper on the bottom and inside it seems
blackish. There is a small hole, which appears to be from age, on the
outside near the base where the foot attaches. It doesn't go all the way
through. The monkey figures are embossed.. I
purchased it at a thrift store. Thank you for any help as to its origins.

Valuation:

I am quite confident that this
vase originates from Japan. What is unusual in this case, is that the
monkey closes only one eye and with one hand.This probably is a playful
variation by the artist.I am happy that you did not ask for a price
valuation (yet).
This
definitely is a rare item, but you will only get a high price if you can
find two people bidding against each other.

Thank you so
much. I am grateful for the information. When I first saw the vase, I
immediately felt that it was old. And looking closely made me think more
so. And I have wondered at its worth, and yet that is not the most
important aspect. I like the message the vase carries. I think
perhaps the tide has turned for so many, with regard to big
spending... I wonder what period it is from. I will do some further
research, but in the meanwhile, I will place it where I can best remember
the message!
