Two years ago we imported from Japan a small lot of these exquisite vases. As 
soon as unpacked they were eagerly inspected and many purchased by the art critics 
of Philadelphia and vicinity ; all of whom spoke in the highest terms of the delicate 
work and beautiful designs. They are made of solid bronze and are indestructible, 
, and far surpass in beauty of lines and richness any porcelain or China Jardinieres. 
We have commissioned our agent in Japan to ship us for this season a selected lot and 
expect they will reach us in October, at which time we cordially invite a personal in- 
spection of the stock. For the convenience of our customers at a distance we illus- 
trate a few designs, which give a fair idea of their general appearance, although many 
of the finest and most unique patterns we are unable to illustrate. Orders for the same 
will be filled as near like the design selected as possible. 
One of these vases, together with a handsome Palm, forms a combination which for 
rich effect it would be hard to equal and impossible to excel.
