About the Item

Large Japanese Meiji period cloisonné enamel vase with a stand Japanese, Late 19th Century Vase: Height 155cm, diameter 70cm Base: Height 45cm, width 51cm, depth 51cm Total: Height 200cm, diameter 70cm Originating from Japan during the late 1800s, this elegant baluster-shaped vase is a striking representation of Meiji-period cloisonné craftsmanship. Expertly fashioned with vibrant enamelwork throughout, it reflects the artistry and technical excellence that defined Japanese decorative arts during this era. The Meiji period (1868–1912) was a transformative time in Japan’s history, marked by a blend of tradition and innovation, as well as a growing interest in global trade. Artworks such as this vase were created for the export market, appealing to Western collectors enchanted by Japanese culture and refined aesthetics. This piece is adorned with intricate wirework and colourful enamels in rich yet subdued tones - shades of yellow, green, maroon, and blue dominate the palette. Two prominent cartouches embellish the body: the first, on the front, captures a dynamic scene of a bird in flight amid plum blossoms - symbols of renewal and endurance. The reverse panel depicts a tranquil garden tableau, with a pair of birds resting among chrysanthemums and peonies, flowers traditionally associated with longevity and prosperity. Framing these vignettes are scrolling maroon borders that provide visual harmony. The rest of the vase’s surface is meticulously decorated with fine karakusa (arabesque) style patterns -signifying growth and vitality - and interspersed with floral motifs to create a layered, balanced composition. A delicate frieze of linked ring designs, known as shippo-tsunagi, encircles the neck of the vase, representing infinite harmony and unity. Every detail of the ornamentation reflects the precision and symbolic richness for which Japanese cloisonné is renowned. Presented on a later velvet-lined wooden plinth, the vase is elevated to further highlight its craftsmanship and visual appeal. This beautifully preserved example is not only a testament to the high standards of Meiji-era enamelwork but also a desirable decorative piece for collectors of Japanese art or fine Asian antiques.
