A Pair of High Quality Antique Japanese Cloisonne Silver Wire Enamel Vases

Offered by: M&M Gallery

Description
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.

These antique Japanese Meiji period vases are not only a testament to the exquisite craftsmanship of the era but also serve as a window into the beauty of nature and the artistic sensibilities of the time. Their grey ground, silver wire, colored enamels, and gilt silver accents combine to create a truly captivating and timeless work of art.
