About the Item

A Fine and Large Japanese Cloisonné Enamel Silver Wire Cobalt Blue Vase – Hayashi School Masterpiece A stunning example of Japanese cloisonné artistry, this fine and large cobalt blue vase from the renowned Hayashi school captures the grace and elegance of nature with breathtaking detail. The deep, luminous cobalt ground serves as the perfect canvas for an exquisite silver-wire design, depicting majestic cranes amidst delicate bamboo—a composition rich in symbolic meaning. In Japanese culture, cranes represent longevity, peace, and good fortune, while bamboo symbolizes resilience and strength, making this piece not only a visual masterpiece but also a profound emblem of prosperity. The exceptional craftsmanship of the Hayashi school is evident in the vase’s meticulously executed cloisonné work, where fine silver wires outline each motif with precision, allowing for a seamless flow of intricate details. The soft gradation of enamels, the masterful rendering of feathers, and the lifelike movement of the cranes reflect the unparalleled skill of Japan’s finest cloisonné artisans during the late Meiji period. With its grand presence, rich symbolism, and remarkable artistry, this museum-quality vase stands as a testament to Japan’s golden age of cloisonné enamelwork. A rare and highly collectible piece, it is an extraordinary addition to any fine collection of Japanese decorative arts. 12.5" high x 6" diameter Very good condition, no damaged noted.
