Pretty bronze leafy flower

Ever seen one like this? Came in a mixed lot. Quality seems very good. Quite heavy. Not marked. I assume it’s meant to be a vase. It’s around 10” high.

 

It's a morning glory flower.

 

I think it's art....not meant to be a vase..

 

Very well could be!

 

Thanks! I haven’t seen a morning glory since I was a kid. I recall loving them then.

 

I can’t seem to find anything resembling this when google image searching. I guess my post was more meant fo ask if anyone had an inkling as to who/where/when?

 

ok.....can you find a mark on it ?

I agree on the morning glory . My dad planted the darn things and They spread everywhere. i have finally confined it to the mail box by getting rid of the seeds before they spread.

 

It’s lovely, and sturdy, which is a rare and wonderful combination

 

@J Dagger
Does your morning glory vase happen to unscrew and separate into two pieces like this one...

Honing it down I can bring up quite a few images of similar bronze flower form vases using bronze lotus form ichabana / ikebana vase. Maybe that search will help you find more keywords or relevant info. Since yours has no marks, I have no idea how to tell who made it or where.

It does indeed have a flat head screw at the bottom of the inside of the flower. Sorry I hadn’t visited them site in a bit.
