Too Much Rain and a Pair of Vases


We were hit with over 2 inches of rain yesterday. The Cape has been rather dry so it was needed in general. But unfortunately, I had seeded and fertilized the lawn just 2 days earlier. Now our street has a haze of seeds and fertilizer and the lawn is still bare.

I haven't had much luck in identifying this pair Japanese bronze vases.


They are a set, but not identical: the pattern is mirrored and differences can be seen if you look closely. Unfortunately, there are several chips in the patina. The gold and silver don't look like inlay work, though there is some relief to the design. It is more like foil was applied before the patina was applied.
