Pair Antique Asian Inlaid Bronze Vases Figural Handles Engraved Design.
I believe these to be Japanese from the Meiji Era. The way the ocean foam is depicted seems to be in a Japanese style to me. But I am not an expert on Asian art.
Both vases have the same design elements with applied figural snail handles. Both also have the same engraved pictorial designs. One side has a butterfly and foliage. The other side has birds above a turbulent ocean.
The inlay app...ears to be brass and copper.
The vases stand approximately 5 3/8" tall and the mouth opening is 1 1/2". Base diameter is 1 7/8". (13.65, 3.8, and 4.8 Cm's, respectively).
Very Good Estate condition. They have been polished sometime within the last 10 or so years and the patina is uneven. Each has 1 snail handle that is loose and can wiggle a little. There is a small bruise on one just to the left of the ocean picture.
No maker's or artist's marks found.

NOTES
I try hard to have all silver hand polished before shipping. Most will have been polished before the photos were taken. Sometimes I miss. I do not polish other metals.

SHIPPING DISCOUNTS
Always happy to combine multiple purchases if physically and safely possible.
SHIPPING --CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES
eBay's shipping and fees policies have required the addition of a Shipping & Handling fee -- minimum $1.00. The S&H fees will include Tracking on all packages, subject to USPS rules.
For all purchases $49.99 and over, all James Avery, and all breakables, the S&H fee will also include USPS or eBay Sponsored Insurance fees for the 'Estimated Closing Price'. Current Priority Mail rules give automatic, free insurance for some Priority Mail packages. If your package qualifies I will refund any S&H fees I charged for insurance.
Because of "Estimated Closing Price" and the all too frequent 'wild hair' that is eBay -- eBay's shipping calculator and actual shipping and handling costs ofttimes vary. I send out invoices thru the eBay system ASAP (usually within 24 hours) and will correct shipping charges on those invoices. If you wish to avoid a potential slight overcharge, please, wait for my invoice.
I cannot be responsible for uninsured items once they are delivered to the Post Office.
