Antique Japanese Meiji Era (c1880) Cloisonné Vase Phoenix & Dragon 8”

This is a beautiful Japanese Meiji era (c. 1870-90's) ornate cloisonné vase. The hand crafted decorations are of a supremely detailed Phoenix and Dragon on either side with other decorations on a black background. 

Made of copper, copper alloys and vitreous glass enamel. 

This vase is approximately 8.5" tall by 4" in diameter (21.5 x 10 cm). 

It weighs about 1 pound.  Having been carefully displayed for nearly five decades since acquired by a dedicated local collector, it remains in fine condition with no noted damage.

This is a perfect example of Meiji era Japanese cloisonné. This is one of over 110 beautiful examples of this exquisite Japanese art currently being offered by Shogun's Gallery.
