Japanese Bronze Meiji Vase

Description

This bronze vase was brought back to the US by my great uncle just after WWI. I believe it is Meiji period (1900). Vase is marked on the bottom with what looks to be the Kanji "sen" which means "exclusive".

The vase is in mint condition with no scuffs, marks, dings or scratches, and has a great patina. The pictures don't show it but the inside of the neck has raised horizontal rings.
