Pair of Antique Japanese Cloisonné Miniature Vases with Floral Decoration Meiji Period

Elegant pair of antique Japanese cloisonné miniature vases featuring flowering blossoms against a rich black enamel ground.

These finely crafted bulb-form vases are decorated with delicate floral compositions rendered in soft pink, white, lavender, and green enamels with intricate brass wirework throughout. Their rounded bodies rise into slender necks, creating a refined silhouette characteristic of miniature cabinet vases produced during the Meiji period.

The glossy black enamel ground is enhanced with subtle decorative patterning that complements the colorful blossoms. The bases retain their original blue enamel undersides bordered by gilt metal rims, a detail commonly seen in high-quality Japanese export cloisonné of the late 19th century.

Compact and highly decorative, these miniature vases display beautifully in a cabinet, scholar’s desk arrangement, or alongside other Japanese decorative arts and Asian antiques.

A charming matched pair of Meiji-period Japanese cloisonné vases showcasing the refined craftsmanship and elegant floral aesthetics of traditional Japanese enamel work.
