Set of Two Japanese Cloissoné Vases Meiji Era Dragon and Pheonix

About the Item

A pair of Japanese cloisonné enamel vases. Meiji era Japan (1867-1912), a period marked by rapid transformation of Japanese traditional society into a global power. The period of growth was preceded by an era of isolation, with Japan to a large extent being closed to Western trade. The Meiji era saw a boom in diplomatic, technological and commercial ties to the industrial West, resulting in the flourishing of both new and traditional forms of artistic expression and craftsmanship. These vases feature several decorative patterns, including floral patterns and Seigaiha (traditional Japanese wave patterns). The vases feature two mythical creatures, the Hou-ou (which has close parallells with the Chinese Fenghuang and is sometimes called the Japanese Pheonix) and a dragon. These creatures, when represented together, generally symbolize the joining and harmony between the male and female (dragon and Phoenix respectively). They also represent Celestial and Imperial authority, as well as the wedding bliss of the Emperor och Empress, as they do in China. Wear consistent with age and use.
