The tall vase of graceful form, with a high round foot supporting a cup shaped body rising to a sharp, nearly flat shoulder, and a long, slender neck with a slightly cupped mouth.
The vase is heavily cast in bronze, featuring a gorgeous patina of mottled red brown, a signature of the Nakajima family. The underside of the vase with a chiseled signature in archaic script reading "Yasumi".
