A rare gorgeous Meiji Japanese Cloisonné vase with gold and very fine silver wire. The vase is in round form with a double wall neck construction and matching border design above the foot.
The design is of two brightly colored birds perched on a blooming wisteria vine with clumps of sumptuous white and purple flowers. There are classic lappet-wing cicada borders at the top of the design. Very fine silver wire is used for most of the vase but gold wire issued for p[arts of the birds and some of the vines.
The vase is 10" tall. There is no signature but the base has been drilled where there may have been a signature. The condition is excellent except for a small crack to the left of the birds, in the dark background (see close-up). Stand not included.
