A finely made pair of Kyoto Satsuma miniature moon-flask vases from the late Meiji period, circa 1895�1910.

Both vases are decorated with continuous riverside processions of court ladies in detailed patterned kimono, painted in soft enamels and raised gold typical of higher-grade Kyoto production.The narrow sides are filled with alternating figural reserves and brocade panels, creating a dense decorative surface without overwhelming the primary scenes.
