Signed Meiji Period Silver Cloisonne Vase

Antiques : Art : Cloisonne

 

This stunning cloisonne vase has fine silver wires as well as rims, top and bottom! Lovely floral design with a bird on a solid black enamel ground. This vase is in superb condition with no chips, cracks, repairs, etc. It measures 7 1/2" in height. The signature is on the black enamel base as well as on the silver rim (see last photo enlargements). It looks like a stylized image of Mt. Fuji with an "S" shaped river in front of it. The rims were tested and were positive for fine silver (925/1000 or better).
