PAIR OF LARGE CLOISONNÉ VASES.Japan, Meiji Period, H 47.5 cm. Flat pressed shape with short protruding base and a similarly formed neck. On one side: cranes and lotus flowers on a light-gray background, on the other side: finely-worked peonies, chrysanthemums, lilies and other flowers on a glittery background which is meant to imitate aventurine. A sideways band with dragons encloses these depictions and changes into tendrils and medaillon patterns on the shoulder. The neck and the base have finely-worked floral and brocade-like bands. The inside of the neck is slightly damaged, otherwise, the vase is very well preserved. (2)
