Rare Antique Meiji Era Fine Silver Wire Japanese Cloisonne Vase Children At Play

  
This is an absolutely stunning antique Meji era Japanese cloisonné vase finely detailed in silver wire, displaying a sophisticated shape tapering to a high shouldered diminutive neck, with a budding top. This vase is absolutely beautiful. The best of the Japanese aesthetic on full display.

You will not see this vase again, as the subject matter is very unusual and very well executed. The vase features beautiful depictions of a birthday celebration with children at play. One is blindfolded and the figures are beautifully depicted.

Wonderful kimonos in designs in shades of blue, yellow, and green. I think it may be an experimental piece, perhaps by Ando Jubei. The vase is in good vintage condition maintaining 99% of its original condition. There are a couple tiny chips as shown in the last photo with the red circle around the small chips.

This being said the vase is a must-have for any serious collector of Asian antiques. It dates back to the late 1800s and is a true testament to the skilled craftsmanship of the period.
