Meiji Japanese Fine Cloisonné Vase Chrysanthemums Bird Aubergine Ground

Description

View Meiji Japanese Fine Cloisonné Vase Chrysanthemums Bird Aubergine Ground with current marketplace pricing, condition, product images and item details. • Decoration: Chrysanthemums and wildflowers. An exquisite Japanese Meiji-period cloisonné vase, finely worked in exceptionally delicate wire and richly enameled with chrysanthemums and wildflowers on a deep aubergine ground. The naturalistic floral composition and subtle shading reflect the refined workmanship of late-19th-century Japanese cloisonné workshops, likely from the Kyoto or Nagoya region. The vase features a copper body with silver or silver-plated rim and foot, and displays the painterly elegance characteristic of high-quality Meiji export cloisonné. The wirework is extraordinarily fine and carefully integrated into the design, creating a soft, harmonious effect rather than a rigid compartmentalized appearance. A beautifully preserved example, notable for its excellent condition with no enamel loss, making it a desirable piece for collectors of Japanese decorative arts. ⸻ Details • Origin: Japan • Period: Meiji (circa 1890–1910) • Technique: Fine-wire cloisonné on copper • Decoration: Chrysanthemums and wildflowers • Ground: Deep aubergine / near-black enamel • Height: 6 inches (15.2 cm) • Condition: Excellent antique condition; no enamel loss, no cracks, no restoration observed Category: Antiques › Asian Antiques › Japan › Vases.
