Vase, flowers, poppies, Japanese art, Meiji 1868–1912, cloisonné enamel, vases, Japanese culture. Angular vase one of a pair with rounded edges, on a low round foot and with a short neck slightly flaring at the spout. The bottom of the foot and the edge of the spout are framed in silver-plated copper. Against a uniform dark garnet background with a purple hue, a decoratively but faithfully depicted tall flower grows from the base and reaches the neck. Stems with alternating, elongated, jagged leaves in pale grayish green support large, full corollas of white and light purple flowers with dense yellow stamens and a green pistil; the motif is executed using the yusen technique, with thin silver wires precisely structuring the delicate, jagged forms of the leaves and petals. The plant stems are accentuated with chocolate brown enamel. The flowers are presented slightly differently in each vase, enhancing naturalness. Around the foot and neck there is a border of small geometric semicircle and rhombus motifs in white and two shades of blue, also made in the yusen technique. Ca. 1900; Japan, Nagoya. Vessel; height 18.4 cm, width 7.5 cm, depth 7 cm., A tall, dark blue vase with a narrow neck and flared rim, decorated with pale blue and light pink floral motifs and a small section of pale beige petal detail on one side, with a brownish-gold rim and base and a patterned band in shades of blue and white around the foot; the vase sits against a plain light gray background.
