his petite gu-form vase in warm brass has wonderful sculptural presence for its size. Relief peony roundels and bamboo-style ribs give it an archaistic East Asian feel, while the flared lip and stepped foot add crisp silhouette. At just 13.5cm tall (approx. 5.3"), it’s perfect for a single stem or as a striking shelf or desk object.

The look lands squarely in today’s chinoiserie revival and “old money” maximalist styling—great layered with books, lacquer boxes, or dark woods for mood and depth. Condition is good vintage with age-appropriate surface marks, light scuffs and scratches from handling, and base wear as shown; no maker’s mark found. A characterful, compact statement piece that reads far grander than its footprint.
