19th Century Large Japan Vase “Cloisonne” With Floral Decoration, Meiji Period

Large antique Japanese vase. Dating from the late Meiji period, 19th century.

Made of copper and brass with ‘Cloisonne’ polychrome enamel decorations.

Cloisonne is a very ancient technique, dating back to ancient Egypt, in which thin wires (usually copper) are soldered or glued to a support plate of the work to be created; subsequently, in the areas raised by the metal, the enamel is poured, thus obtaining a sort of mosaic whose tiles are exactly circumscribed by the metal strips.
These ornaments were made with this technique, with peach blossoms on a turquoise background.

Really excellent condition despite its age. Possible presence of some imperfections.
