Japanese Cloisonné Enamel Vase on Stand - Meiji Era - 1868–1912

This stunning Japanese cloisonné enamel vase from the Meiji era (1868–1912), featuring birds in flight among delicate blossoming branches. The piece showcases the hallmark deep purple enamel base contrasted with vibrant, jewel-toned floral decoration executed in the traditional cloisonné technique—where fine metal wires separate each colour to create an intricate mosaic effect. The baluster form tapers to a narrow neck with a gracefully flared rim, and the vase is mounted on a hand-carved wooden stand that complements its refined proportions. Despite its modest size, this work exemplifies the exceptional craftsmanship and artistic vision of Meiji-period artisans, who elevated cloisonné to an art form prized across Asia and the West. A distinguished addition to any collection of East Asian decorative arts, this vase brings centuries of tradition and refined aesthetic sensibility into your interior.
