Vase by Hayakawa Komejirô fl. ca. 1880–1912. A small ovoid, bulging bottle on a very low round foot framed in silver-plated metal, with a short narrow neck and flared spout also framed in silver-plated metal. The body is covered with transparent red enamel akasuke technique, developed around 1880 in Nagoya, decorated with a motif of water birds—plovers chidori—rendered using the yusen technique with thin silver wires, shown flying over foaming waves or perching on the water. The design combines naturalism and decorative stylization characteristic of Japanese design. The maker’s signature is engraved in kanji on the bottom: Hayakawa zo tsukuru. Late 19th century Meiji period, 1868–1912, Nagoya, Japan. Vessel height 16.7 cm, diameter 9.9 cm., A glossy vase with a deep red body and a rounded, slightly elongated shape topped by a narrow neck with a metallic rim; the vase is decorated with a group of white birds in flight with pale gray and gold detailing on their wings and bodies, and a stylized gray and white wave motif around the lower portion where a few birds appear to be floating; the background behind the vase is a smooth gradient of light gray tones.
