About the Item

This colorful striking pair of antique Japanese bronze vases from the Meiji period are decorated with enamel using the cloisonne technique. Two matched vases with a relief pattern of cloisonne enamel, making up a set.

It was originally used as a wine vessel, but since the Song dynasty (960–1279) it also became popular as a plum vase and got its name "meiping". Unmarked. Meiji era, 1868 to 1912, reign of Emperor Mutsuhito. On wooden pedestals- overall stand 9.5 inches. Bottoms measure 2.5 inches across- tops 1.75 inches across- vases standing alone 8 inches.
