Japanese Solid Bronze Jardinieres. 



A year 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 another 

 lot and expect they will reach us in October, at which time we cordially invite a 

 personal inspection of the stock. For the convenience of our customers at a. 

 distance we illustrate four designs, which give a fair idea of their general appear- 

 ance. Orders for the same will be filled as near like the design selected as possible,, 

 although hardly any two are made exactly alike. 



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.
