Vase, cloisonné enamel yusen technique; poppy motif; Meiji period, ca. 1900; Japan, Nagoya. 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 tall flower grows from the base to the neck: stems with alternating elongated, jagged pale grayish-green leaves support large corollas of white and light purple with dense yellow stamens and a green pistil. The motif is executed in yusen with thin silver wires defining leaves and petals; stems are accentuated with chocolate brown enamel. The flowers are rendered slightly differently in each vase of the pair. Around the foot and neck is a border of small geometric semicircle and rhombus motifs in white and two shades of blue, also in yusen. Vessel; height 18.4 cm, width 7.5 cm, depth 7 cm., A dark purple glossy square-shaped object with rounded edges sits upright against a neutral gray background, showing a central circular metallic opening with a warm bronze tone and a deep dark interior, and a floral decoration on one side featuring pale yellow and white petals with hints of light purple.
