From our collection of Japanese enamelware from the time of Emperor Meiji, (1868-1912) this delightful pair of Cloisonne vases signed Ota Tameshiro.
Each vase with a large, intricately decorated panel. On one side, on a pale green ground, a flock of Sparrows fly amongst flowering Wisteria above a stream and on the reverse, (on a sky blue ground), a flock of Doves rest on the boughs of a Cherry tree in full bloom.
The top of each panel with a mythical beast peering over the frame.
Between each main panel, on the “sides” of each vase are smaller panels depicting stylised Phoenix and Dragons and above an oval shaped smaller panel with a group of butterflies.
Each vase with the mark of Ota Tameshiro.
Offered in very good condition as shown in the photographs. Please don’t hesitate to contact us for furth information, additional images or to arrange a viewing.

Cherry Blossom
Cherry blossom is a well known symbol of Japan, it is beautiful but fleeting, it represents spring, a time of renewal and reminds us of the fleeting nature of life.
Cloisonne
Cloisonne is an enameling technique used to decorate metal objects, typically copper or silver, fine lines of metal are used to define the outlines of a design (called cloisons in French which is where the name cloisonne comes from) enamel paste in different colours is applied to the areas, which are then fired in a kiln and polished to create a glass-like finish.
Cloisonne is very fragile and must be treated with the utmost care, as one tiny knock can cause an area to shatter, it is very hard if not impossible to restore cloisonne.
