Description
An Exquisite and Large Pair of Meiji Japanese Ginbari Cloisonné Enamel Vases with Peonies and Butterflies
This stunning pair of vases, crafted during the Meiji period (1868-1912), showcases the pinnacle of Japanese cloisonné enamel artistry. The vases feature the intricate and highly prized ginbari technique, where a silver foil background is used to create a radiant, textured surface that enhances the vividness of the cloisonné enamels. Each vase is beautifully decorated with delicate peonies, symbolic of wealth and beauty, and fluttering butterflies, representing grace and transformation. The vibrant, multi-colored enamelwork captures the elegance of these natural motifs with exceptional detail and precision, while the silvery sheen of the ginbari adds depth and luminosity to the design.
This pair stands as a magnificent example of Meiji-era craftsmanship, embodying the refined aesthetic and technical mastery that defined the period. A breathtaking addition to any collection of Japanese art, these vases are a testament to the enduring beauty of traditional cloisonné techniques.
