"Owl" Rare Owl or parrot like bird- Vintage or 1960s paperweight with identifier signature in Japanese I cannot make out completely. Sold as shown. " Bunchin, Okimono or similar quality item etc. Within the Mid-Century Modern (MCM) market, this specific styling is widely referred to by collectors as a "Japanese Gilt Wash Cast Iron Figurine" or "Gold Leaf Patina MCM Okimono". Famous 20th-century Japanese master metal sculptors—most notably Saegusa Sotaro (whose signature circle stamps frequently appear on very similar stylized animals)—pioneered this exact aesthetic, turning traditional iron casting into minimalist, abstract mid-century art.
