19th century

Sold by Steve Sly Japanese Works of Art

Description

As part of our Japanese works of art collection we are delighted to offer this highly attractive matched pair of Meiji period 1868-1912 , circa 1885 Cloisonné enamel vases , each of the vases are decorated with a brace of Pidgeon's amidst native Flora , one vase enamelled in a vibrant Pink the other in a more traditional light blue , much of the work on each vase rendered in Silver wire , the vases are heavily counter enamelled as you would expect for vases of this earlier period , loosely in the style of the earlier works by Namikawa Sosuke , each vase further decorated with Stylised borders and an unusual diamond patterned neck , it is possible that the original owner purchased these vases from the same outlet and chose different colours , which compliment each other nicely , or that they have been matched up in later life , one thing for certain in that they were manufactured by the same studio in the late 19th century, a very pleasing pair of Cloisonné enamel vases that would enhance your Japanese works of art collection.
