This is a decorative, vintage Asian vase crafted from solid brass which has been covered in a glossy black lacquer finish. It is a piece of chinoiserie decor, likely dating from the mid-20th century (c. 1960s-1970s). The vase is beautifully adorned with an intricate, traditional design of a bird and flowering branches created through the technique of mother-of-pearl (or abalone shell) inlay, giving the dark surface a striking, iridescent contrast.
