Vintage Japanese Metal Pedestal Bowl | Textured Floral Compote | Made in Japan

Vintage Japanese metal pedestal bowl featuring an embossed rising sun maker’s mark and stamped “Made in Japan." The rising sun symbol was widely used by Japanese export manufacturers in the mid-20th century, particularly from the 1940s–1960s, and commonly appears on decorative metalware produced for Western markets.

This piece has a shallow bowl form with a sculptural pedestal base and textured surface, accented by raised fruit and basket motifs around the rim. The finish shows natural age-related surface wear and patina consistent with vintage Japanese metalwork of this era.

The rising sun mark is not a military insignia here; it functions as a traditional national symbol used by civilian manufacturers to denote origin and export quality during Japan’s post-war production period.
