About the Item

These exquisite antique Japanese Meiji period vases exhibit a captivating visual allure. Their grey ground serves as the backdrop for an enchanting tableau meticulously crafted with silver wire and colored enamels. Delicately painted, the vases showcase a captivating scene featuring a sparrow gracefully perched on a sakura branch. The branch, adorned with vibrant blossoms, extends its natural beauty across the surface of the vases. The meticulous attention to detail is evident as the artist skillfully renders the diverse flowers in a dense composition. Each petal and leaf is carefully executed, capturing the essence of nature's intricate patterns and vibrant hues. The colors of the enamels, carefully chosen and expertly applied, bring the floral display to life, infusing the scene with a sense of vibrancy and harmony. To further enhance their elegance, the vases are adorned with a gilt silver rim along the mouth and base. This touch of gilded luxury adds a refined and opulent element to the overall design, enhancing the vases' aesthetic appeal.
