No history. Left to me by great aunt that traveled the world. Excellent condition
10 in tall
Hello, this item is a Japanese cloisonné-style vase, likely dating from the late Meiji to early Taishō period (circa 1900–1925), though it does not appear to be true cloisonné enamel. Instead, it is a porcelain or ceramic vase with fine enamel decoration imitating cloisonné motifs. The tall ovoid form features a pale blue ground with a naturalistic motif of birds perched among autumnal maple branches, executed in great detail and exhibiting fine brushwork and color layering consistent with high-quality Japanese export wares.
Despite the label “cloissane” in the listing, no visible metal wires or true enameling suggests this is not a traditional cloisonné piece, but rather a painted ceramic in cloisonné-inspired style. The vase is in excellent condition with no visible cracks or repairs. The base shows wear and patina consistent with age, though no visible signature is present. In the current market, decorative Japanese vases of this quality and size (10 inches tall) typically sell in the range of $200 to $350 USD, with price variation depending on regional demand and auction setting.
