As part of our Japanese works of art collection we are delighted to offer this most exquisite Meiji Period 1868-1912, cloisonne enamel bottle vase manufactured by the most highly revered enamel artist of the late 19th century, the imperial artist Namikawa Yasuyuki (1845-1927) . In this instance Yasuyuki has crafted a little jewel of a vase with extensive use of gold wires to the neck and shoulders as well as the underside borders, the shoulders decorated with imperial chrysanthemum amidst scrolling flora with both the neck and base decorated with geometric hanabishi shippo multicolour borders. The main globular body finely decorated with butterflies amidst scrolling foliage all worked in silver wires upon a vibrant turquoise ground, the neck and foot rims finished in gilt bronze with a silver tablet recessed beneath the base, artist signed Kyoto Namikawa. A truly scarce jewel of a vase by the luminary enameler of the period.
