Sato Kazuhide became an independent metal artist in 1876,
producing work for the Imperial Household and international
expositions, including the Paris Exposition of 1900. Also from Edo,
he apprenticed under the metal masters Iwamoto Ikkan VII and
Ozaki Kazuyoshi.

This type of vases with chrysanthemum crests of the Imperial
Household were often presented from the Emperor or Imperial
Household as an Imperial Gift during the Meiji period. For a pair
of presentation vases with similar style in the Khalili collection,
see Metalwork, vol. 2 of Meiji no Takara/Treasures of Imperial Japan:
The Nasser D. Khalili Collection of Japanese Art, Oliver Impey and
Malcolm Fairley, gen. eds. (London: The Kibo Foundation, 1995),
no. 128.
